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

The Bears spent real capital to be 67 picks early on Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Joe Alt and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
They jumped the gun on Nate Wiggins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A straight-up fair deal on Kamren Kinchens at slot 58, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
They paid up for Adisa Isaac at pick 104 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at the 132nd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at slot 141 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached into another round for Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
No drama and no debate, Joshua Gray went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 5. A need, and now a little less of one.
