Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 132 on Ainias Smith a full 37 spots early.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Getting Hart where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Cole Strange leading the way.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 3rd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 5th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Value said wait; Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 35 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper DeJean at pick 54, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 3, Pick 4 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in slot 104 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 105th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They talked themselves into Ainias Smith at pick No. 132, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A premium they did not need to pay, Mike Sainristil a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at the 182nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
No edge and no loss on Jordan Magee in slot 225; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
