Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Bears let Thrash fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Priorities are a choice, and the Bears made a strange one, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE in Round 3, Pick 33 with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots crying out for the pick instead. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Thrash pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 9 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In pick No. 27 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Nubin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick 75 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Circle this one: Jamari Thrash at pick 110 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in slot 122, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
No drama and no debate, Keith Randolph Jr. went about where he belonged in the 146th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
