Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears spent real capital to be 84 picks early on Joe Milton III, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
No drama and no debate, Olumuyiwa Fashanu went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in the 74th pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
A tidy little value on J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 4, Pick 26, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in pick 147. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton in the 188th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
