Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 200: the Bears steal Nesbit and grade out a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nesbit. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Dion Dawkins gives the group a proven body among the projects. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 18: Wyatt Milum for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They paid up for Donovan Jackson at the 64th pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at slot 82, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the 156th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit in pick No. 200 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at slot 246 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
They did well to land Bru McCoy in pick 256, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
