Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Fisher value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Keegan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 12 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
No drama and no debate, Ja'Lynn Polk went about where he belonged in slot 54. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A clean, defensible pick in the 75th overall pick with a little surplus value in Javon Bullard. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A tidy bit of business in No. 118, where Blake Fisher graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in the 127th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in pick No. 146 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Omar Speights
A slide stopped in pick 232, with Omar Speights worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevor Keegan. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
