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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

On value alone, Harris makes the weekend a net positive. Reaching for Isaac left real value on the table behind him.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Adisa Isaac well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A premium they did not need to pay, Matt Goncalves a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in the 128th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick142 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
They paid up for Mike Sainristil at pick 142 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in the 186th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Value with a capital V on Graham Mertz in Round 7, Pick 6, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
No edge and no loss on Bru McCoy in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
