Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Hardy: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Daequan Hardy had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 14, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

If Hartman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In pick 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Zach Frazier at pick No. 48, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in the 111th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid a round early for Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 15, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in slot 132. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick137 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Good price on Nehemiah Pritchett in the 137th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 12 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They paid sticker price for Javion Cohen in No. 161, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A real head-scratcher, Curtis Jacobs in pick 167 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Taking Daequan Hardy in pick No. 234 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They paid up for LaDarius Henderson at slot 235 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A slide stopped in the 252nd pick, with KT Leveston worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
