Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB
Isaac should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Adisa Isaac, the No. 51 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 75th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The trade work was a quiet net positive. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 4th pick they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick No. 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the 66th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Adisa Isaac in slot 75, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
Nothing to complain about; MarShawn Lloyd went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at pick 123 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 143 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
