Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears robbed the room for Harris. Final grade: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harris. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The McKinstry pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back, cornerback and other spots still on the board. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Of all the spots to shop, they chose defensive back. Kool-Aid McKinstry in Round 1, Pick 10 leaves running back, cornerback and other spots for later.
Pick12 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 12 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in the 42nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick 44 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mekhi Wingo in the 68th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good price on Brian Thomas Jr. in the 76th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Max Melton adds a defensive back and leaves running back, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at slot 105 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
A want over a need in pick 132: Shilo Sanders adds a safety while running back, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick141 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 141 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Taking Moose Muhammad III in the 182nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at pick No. 225 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
