Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Bears spent real capital to be 54 picks early on Jonathon Brooks, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. It is not that Tampa is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCoy.

In the end it comes back to Brock Bowers, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
No edge and no loss on Brock Bowers in pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick36 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 52, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 4: T.J. Tampa adds a defensive back while interior defensive lineman and cornerback keeps waiting.
Pick69 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in the 69th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 105th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 132 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
No drama and no debate, Luke Lachey went about where he belonged in pick No. 142. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jonathon Brooks
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jonathon Brooks this early at the 143rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Landon Jackson
They talked themselves into Landon Jackson at slot 183, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bru McCoy at Round 6, Pick 11 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They took Taulia Tagovailoa at par in pick 226, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They paid up for J.J. Weaver at the 232nd pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
