Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 10th pick on Tyler Booker a full 28 spots early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Harmon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Kaleb Johnson at No. 39, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A slide stopped in slot 41, with Derrick Harmon worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A big swing on Jalen Milroe at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
