Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Williams to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
They paid sticker price for Joe Alt in pick 4, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value.
Pick21 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in the 35th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Fair-plus on Brenden Rice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
A straight-up fair deal on Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 110, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They liked Beaux Limmer enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 25. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kedon Slovis
They read the board right and Kedon Slovis was the payoff at the 146th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater in the 186th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Williams at pick 232. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
