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

The Bears spent real capital to be 49 picks early on Jared Wiley, and the board is going to hold them to it. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

In the end it comes back to Bralen Trice, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In the 25th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid a round early for Kingsley Suamataia in slot 43, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A premium they did not need to pay, Brandon Dorlus a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They reached into another round for Ricky Pearsall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Value said wait; Malachi Corley in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 1; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
They jumped the gun on Nelson Ceaser, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 127 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 144th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ben Sinnott in the 145th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in slot 146 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wiley. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
