Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 188 on Nathaniel Watson a full 92 spots early.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Amegadjie value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 10 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 74th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kiran Amegadjie in No. 110. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Adams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 188, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at slot 231 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
