Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Richard Jibunor at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 95 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.

Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, with Marvin Harrison Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They took Marvin Harrison Jr. at par in the 1st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick17 Rnd1 Javon Bullard
In slot 17 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A straight-up fair deal on Byron Murphy II at No. 55, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 81st pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 4, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 James Williams
A surprising call. With running back, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 132 on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick141 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at the 141st pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 6, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick225 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Value said wait; Richard Jibunor in No. 225 says they were not listening. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
