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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Spending an early pick on safety with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Stover makes the weekend a net positive.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 6th overall pick they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Javon Bullard in pick 52 leaves interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots for later.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul slipping to pick No. 75 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in slot 98 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick106 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They let Brenden Rice come to them and pounced at No. 106. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at the 109th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A curious use of pick 121. Interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; a tight end in Ben Sinnott did not.
Pick217 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
The board had Daijun Edwards higher than Round 6, Pick 42, and the running back fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
