Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureA+
Hard to poke a hole in the Bears' weekend: A-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Marist Liufau; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 30 spots ahead at the 53rd pick. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Olumuyiwa Fashanu and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 21st overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They reached a country mile for Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 52, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Marist Liufau
A real head-scratcher, Marist Liufau in No. 53 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Fair-plus on Denzel Burke, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at No. 74 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
The board had cheaper options than MarShawn Lloyd at pick 84, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in pick No. 126, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in slot 147 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
