Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 9 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Good price on Matt Goncalves in pick 110, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A reach on Layden Robinson in slot 146; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Proctor. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
