Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Malachi Moore selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 39 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Emmanwori.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Savaiinaea went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at Round 2, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malachi Moore this early at pick No. 85. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick110 Rnd4 DJ Giddens
They paid a round early for DJ Giddens in the 110th pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 116 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
A slide stopped in the 149th overall pick, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaheim Oatis
The board had cheaper options than Jaheim Oatis at the 150th pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Theo Wease Jr. in No. 180, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brant Kuithe well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
