Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Jones should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jarrian Jones slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at slot 146. Highway robbery.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Van Pran reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 1 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 9 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach on Sedrick Van Pran in pick 75; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Darius Robinson a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They robbed the room for Jarrian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
