Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Legette lower, and that gap is the story.

The Coleman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

If Dallas Turner and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 9 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They let Keon Coleman come to them and pounced at pick 45. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Legette a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Adams in No. 122, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 125th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
