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

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The McClellan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

If Marvin Harrison Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
Fair-plus on Brock Bowers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A conviction pick on Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 54 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Nice patience on Javon Bullard, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 110 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 125th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 146th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in Round 6, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson in slot 232 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
