Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 143, a good 44 spots before the room expected him.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Landing Smith-Wade that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 15 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 21 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A reasonable price with a little left over, Terrion Arnold in the Round 1 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 11 is lovely value for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in the 105th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
They robbed the room for Bucky Irving here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 123rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Steal is underselling it; Malik Washington at slot 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Jefferson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They took Jaylan Ford at par in No. 181, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
The board fumbled Chau Smith-Wade all the way to pick No. 199, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
