Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Smith-Wade: B-.

When a board-topper like Chau Smith-Wade slides to slot 195, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Every board in the league had Wright lower, and that gap is the story.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 9th pick they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 75th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Wright. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Somehow Chau Smith-Wade was still sitting there in No. 195, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
