Draft Grade — Bears
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC-
A weekend the Bears spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

Some picks age like wine; Sam Hartman at pick 149 will need to, sitting 111 spots clear of his grade. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. With linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Turner.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 20th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value.
Pick21 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 30 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JT Tuimoloau. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in the 36th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 37 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in slot 40; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
They paid up for Denzel Burke at the 50th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper DeJean a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 13, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A wild overpay on Adisa Isaac in No. 79, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in pick 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at pick No. 103, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 110th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in slot 112 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A want over a need in pick 126: Malik Mustapha adds a safety while linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick133 Rnd4 Theo Wease
Theo Wease in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Value said wait; Theo Johnson in Round 5, Pick 11 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 149th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 188 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
