Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Bears bet big and early on Richard Jibunor, 95 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 14th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They let Keon Coleman come to them and pounced at the 46th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slipping to No. 68 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
They took Jaylin Simpson at par in Round 3, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 83; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Graham Barton
They jumped the gun on Graham Barton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 87th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick132 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Value with a capital V on Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 141 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at No. 225 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
