Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Demani Richardson at the 217th pick is 73 spots clear of where he belonged.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. On value alone, Davis makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In the end it comes back to Marvin Harrison Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They took Marvin Harrison Jr. at par in Round 1, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick17 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 17th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zach Frazier. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 104 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in slot 132; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at No. 141 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ray Davis
You do not let a running back like Ray Davis reach pick No. 182 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Storm Duck
No drama and no debate, Storm Duck went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 5. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
