Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Zion Logue went at the Round 6 slot, a good 129 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback and quarterback still on the board. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Adding Will Hernandez by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 17th pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid up for Sedrick Van Pran at slot 49 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A want over a need in pick No. 104: Khyree Jackson adds a defensive back while cornerback and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick132 Rnd4 AJ Barner
No edge and no loss on AJ Barner in pick 132; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ray Davis
A reach for Ray Davis in slot 141; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Omar Speights
A wild overpay on Omar Speights in pick 195, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the 198th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
They talked themselves into Zion Nelson at Round 7, Pick 5, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
