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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bears shredded theirs for Garret Greenfield. He came off 81 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nourzad. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 16 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 32nd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in the 36th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dominick Puni
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dominick Puni well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick50 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 50 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in Round 2, Pick 22; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Austin Booker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Booker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at No. 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
You do not let a running back like Jaylen Wright reach the 101st overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
A reach for Bucky Irving in slot 115; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
They paid a round early for Jared Wiley in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Braelon Allen in the 138th pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Garret Greenfield
A wild overpay on Garret Greenfield in pick No. 139, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Value said wait; Isaiah Williams in the 147th overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at Round 5, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in slot 200 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
They barely believed it either: Darius Muasau still on the board at pick 243. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
