Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Penix Jr. headlines a D+ weekend for the Bears.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent No. 110 on Brandon Coleman, a name most had 40 spots down the list. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The whole projection now runs through Michael Penix Jr.; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In slot 9 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They talked themselves into Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 43, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A conviction pick on Trey Benson at No. 68 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 76th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at the 110th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Robinson this early at pick No. 125. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
