Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-.

Nobody had Jared Wiley this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 69 spots to get him at Round 4, Pick 27.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Wiley pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still on the board.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In the 31st pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 32nd overall pick they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
No drama and no debate, Brian Thomas Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 4 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 113 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in pick No. 114 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Jared Wiley with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick138 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
A big swing on Isaiah Williams at the 138th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They talked themselves into Jaylen Harrell at Round 6, Pick 1, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
