Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Darius Robinson at the 104th pick, roughly 39 spots before his name belonged. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jer'Zhan Newton. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at slot 47 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They liked Andrew Mukuba enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
A real head-scratcher, Devontez Walker in the 115th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
No edge and no loss on Beaux Limmer in the 132nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 5, Pick 5 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Fair-plus on Cam Hart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Gray at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
