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

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Sam Hartman, 162 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value.
Pick4 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In No. 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick68 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
No edge and no loss on Dontay Corleone in slot 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sam Hartman
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in the 104th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Moose Muhammad III
They reached into another round for Moose Muhammad III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in Round 5, Pick 5 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jackson Mitchell
They talked themselves into Jackson Mitchell at the 182nd pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Deshawn Pace
A wild overpay on Deshawn Pace in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
