Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Bears won the night they stopped Swain from sliding. Grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Vicari Swain slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at pick 257. Highway robbery.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Drue Tranquill leading the way.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the 32nd overall pick they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at pick 54 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick64 Rnd2 Chris Cole
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Cole reach No. 64 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jadan Baugh
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jadan Baugh in Round 3, Pick 21, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cayden Green
They will replay Cayden Green at slot 122 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dante Moore
Dante Moore at the 123rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at pick No. 147 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Omarion Miller
Omarion Miller at the 161st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Will Heldt
Will Heldt in slot 169 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 A'Mauri Washington
Somehow A'Mauri Washington was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 23, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Iapani Laloulu
They robbed the room for Iapani Laloulu here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Vicari Swain
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 257 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
