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

The Bears bet big and early on Nic Anderson, 66 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Majors. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at slot 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They paid sticker price for Tyler Warren in the 41st pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No drama and no debate, Omarr Norman-Lott went about where he belonged in No. 73. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 9, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 203 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dasan McCullough. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
