Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, James Conner leading the way. If Limmer pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Smith pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 4 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in the 35th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 66th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaden Hicks. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at No. 75 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in pick No. 111 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick 123. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Nice patience on Ainias Smith, who had no business lasting to No. 143. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A tidy little value on Tyler Owens in the 234th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
