Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Mike Sainristil went at No. 104, a good 47 picks before the board was ready.

That Harris pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick7 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 7 they get a mismatch in the passing game. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They liked Cooper Beebe enough to skip the value, taking him in the 35th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
No edge and no loss on Brian Thomas Jr. in the 68th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They went early on Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 3, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 4, Pick 4 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in the 132nd pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick141 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Tupuola-Fetui well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 182nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at slot 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
