Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bears did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to interior defensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in the 75th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at slot 110, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 127th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in No. 146 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
