Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bears to a C+.

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If Olumuyiwa Fashanu and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 11 they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 72nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They paid up for Gabriel Murphy at No. 75 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in pick No. 109 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in pick 121 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
