Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the C.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent Round 3, Pick 5 on Dominick Puni, a name most had 33 spots down the list. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 5 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 9 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dominick Puni this early at the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A reach on Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 11; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
By-the-book stuff, Blake Fisher at No. 105 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
They paid a round early for Isaiah Adams in the 110th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They paid sticker price for Jaylin Simpson in No. 146, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A tidy little value on Sam Hartman in Round 6, Pick 11, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams is a better player than pick 232 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
