Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.
For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 5 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick19
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 19 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 27th pick they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Bo Nix
They did well to land Bo Nix in Round 2, Pick 3, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Fair-plus on Troy Franklin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in the 68th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 72 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in No. 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 104th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in pick 109. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 121 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
