Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
D
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bears to a D. The Bears torched the value chart for Jordan Travis, taking him 68 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. DeJean at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick5
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
A straight-up fair deal on Laiatu Latu at the 5th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick18
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in slot 42 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kamari Lassiter
They barely believed it either: Kamari Lassiter still on the board at No. 67. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
A big swing on Jordan Travis at Round 3, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
They paid a round early for Zach Frazier in Round 3, Pick 10, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
Steal is underselling it; Cooper DeJean at No. 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick 105 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130
Rnd4
McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at the 130th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 133 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142
Rnd5
Devontez Walker
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Devontez Walker in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
The board had Ty'Ron Hopper higher than slot 183, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Hartman well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
