Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Bears to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Benson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Nelson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick4 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 4 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 68th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A clean, defensible pick in No. 132 with a little surplus value in Tommy Eichenberg. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A reach for Jack Nelson in pick No. 141; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They did well to land Kamal Hadden in Round 6, Pick 7, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at slot 225 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
