Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears won the night they stopped McCoy from sliding. Grade: A-.

When a board-topper like Bru McCoy slides to slot 225, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Reaching for Limmer left real value on the table behind him. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Joe Alt and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt at the 4th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick9 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Nothing to complain about; JT Tuimoloau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in pick 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A clean, defensible pick in No. 68 with a little surplus value in Ja'Lynn Polk. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They paid sticker price for McKinnley Jackson in the 82nd pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They took Smael Mondon Jr. at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at slot 104 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
The board had Roman Wilson higher than the Round 4 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at Round 6, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Somehow Bru McCoy was still sitting there in No. 225, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
