Draft Grade — Bears

The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

The cost of the Murphy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Will Anderson Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 9 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 23rd pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 2, Pick 27 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in the 75th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Fair-plus on Braden Fiske, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid up for Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A reach for Will Shipley in No. 123; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
A wild overpay on Grayson Murphy in pick 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
