Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Zy Alexander went at slot 246, a good 99 picks before the board was ready.

On value alone, Conerly Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at pick 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
They talked themselves into Parker Brailsford at the 51st pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at Round 3, Pick 18 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 83 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick120 Rnd4 DJ Giddens
They reached into another round for DJ Giddens, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
A straight-up fair deal on Dasan McCullough at pick No. 195, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key slid further than he should have, and slot 200 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zy Alexander in pick 246, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
