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

The Bears did not so much draft McKade Mettauer as overpay for him, 42 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
They paid sticker price for Emeka Egbuka in slot 32, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at the 49th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick64 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the 64th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at pick No. 75 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Byron Murphy II at pick 80 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the 110th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 25. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at No. 186 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 McKade Mettauer
McKade Mettauer at slot 232 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
