Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

Penix Jr. is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In pick No. 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick4
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In slot 4 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
