Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Hard to follow the map here. The Bears bypassed interior defensive lineman and linebacker to take Maason Smith at slot 75, a spot they had covered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Bullard at the 63rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with interior defensive lineman and linebacker open.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the 94th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 4, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cam Hart in pick 127. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at slot 146 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 186 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
A tidy bit of business in slot 232, where Isaiah Williams graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
