Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesC FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Pearsall: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ricky Pearsall, Round 7, Pick 11, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The veteran additions, Brandon Stephens chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 114th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nehemiah Pritchett in No. 147. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 188 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
They robbed the room for Ricky Pearsall here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
