Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Legette: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Van Pran to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

That Legette pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 2nd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in slot 43 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 67th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They took Blake Corum at par in Round 3, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They liked Sedrick Van Pran enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 75. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper Beebe at the 125th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cade Stover
A quiet steal in the 141st overall pick: Cade Stover for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams slid further than he should have, and No. 146 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
