Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Bears lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Bears did not so much draft Nick Martin as overpay for him, 44 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Green steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

So much rides on Ashton Jeanty that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 10 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Mike Green
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Green in the 39th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at slot 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at Round 3, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Value with a capital V on Malachi Moore in the 148th pick, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 149, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in slot 171 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nick Martin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Martin in the 233rd overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Hawes at the 240th pick, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
