Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears robbed the room for Corley. Final grade: A-.

Somebody in the Round 4 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Malachi Corley, the No. 83 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The veteran additions, Daron Payne chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Marvin Harrison Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In the 25th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at slot 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick No. 58 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 79 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson is a better player than the 84th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick 85 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at slot 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at the 90th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zak Zinter in No. 110. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Malachi Corley in Round 4, Pick 14, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No drama and no debate, Leonard Taylor III went about where he belonged in the 121st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 127 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They paid sticker price for Jordan Travis in pick No. 137, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick186 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 186 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Good price on Joshua Gray in slot 232, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in pick 248 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
