Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Corley: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Getting Corley where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 32nd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
No edge and no loss on Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at Round 4, Pick 2 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick No. 110 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at pick No. 122, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in Round 5, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
