Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Jones should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B+.

The Bears ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

That Jones pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marvin Harrison Jr. in slot 4. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 13th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 29 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 3 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Calen Bullock. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at the 75th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at No. 92 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 11 with a little surplus value in Michael Pratt. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 123 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Aki Ogunbiyi
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 221st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A quiet steal in slot 231: Solomon Byrd for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
