Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Bears to leave a draft.

The Simpson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If Brade pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers at Round 1, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 5 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JT Tuimoloau. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at slot 69 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They paid a round early for Beau Brade in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
No drama and no debate, Shemar Turner went about where he belonged in the 128th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Theo Wease
Theo Wease at pick 142 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 183, where Jaylin Simpson graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner in Round 7, Pick 6 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
