Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB
Good, not great, for the Bears: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Keith Randolph Jr. at No. 123 is 33 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Green at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 27th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 35 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the 66th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
No drama and no debate, Malachi Corley went about where he belonged in pick 75. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at slot 111 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 123, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 144 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jalen Green
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalen Green in pick No. 226. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
