Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 64, roughly 33 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Myles Garrett pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in No. 56 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick64 Rnd2 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 64 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They left a pile of value on the table to take D'Angelo Ponds this early at pick 87. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
They reached a country mile for Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 131, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They reached into another round for DJ Campbell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
They talked themselves into Bear Alexander at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
No edge and no loss on De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 7, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
