Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zy Alexander at the 256th overall pick, a reach of 99 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Bears indulged a want in Sabb while a need in interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots stayed open.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
A tidy little value on Nic Scourton in Round 2, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
A wild overpay on Parker Brailsford in pick 50, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 82nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Keon Sabb while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in slot 110 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
No drama and no debate, Derrick Moore went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in Round 5, Pick 18 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
They went early on Dasan McCullough in pick No. 200, and the value did not follow. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijhah Badger in the 246th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at No. 256 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
