Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

Hall has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They banked enough surplus on Franklin to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy little value on Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 5, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A quiet steal in the 38th pick: Troy Franklin for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 75 with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in No. 110; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 122 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 146 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at pick 184, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
