Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears let DeJean fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

On value alone, DeJean makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Bobby Okereke gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 6th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
By-the-book stuff, Olumuyiwa Fashanu at No. 9 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Somehow Cooper DeJean was still sitting there in slot 39, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Bo Nix
You do not let a quarterback like Bo Nix reach the 47th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in pick No. 75, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Good price on Mohamed Kamara in the 123rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 143 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
