Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for Braden Fiske, 69 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, DeJean at that price is a win they earned. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 7 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 14 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sedrick Van Pran. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emeka Egbuka in pick 39. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jordan Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Travis this early at Round 2, Pick 15. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Foster
They will replay Javon Foster at the 68th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cooper DeJean
They barely believed it either: Cooper DeJean still on the board at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 115 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 132nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 141 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in Round 6, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Braden Fiske
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braden Fiske well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at the 236th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
