Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Bears walked right past.

Reaching for Rivers left real value on the table behind him. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in Round 2, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in slot 95 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Value said wait; Eric Rivers in pick 129 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Nothing to complain about; Jacob Rodriguez went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They took Nolan Rucci at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamal Haynes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
They paid sticker price for Brett Norfleet in No. 257, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
