Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Muhammad III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Smith-Wade that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 6th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 7 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at slot 36, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They talked themselves into Sedrick Van Pran at No. 38, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at Round 2, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A clean, defensible pick in pick 68 with a little surplus value in Malachi Corley. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Moose Muhammad III
They reached into another round for Moose Muhammad III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at Round 5, Pick 5, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Connor Colby
The board had Connor Colby higher than the 143rd pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They paid a round early for Tre Harris in No. 182, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in slot 225 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
