Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Donovan Jackson at the 87th overall pick is 44 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Spending an early pick on defensive back with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Adding Isaac Seumalo by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, with Marvin Harrison Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value.
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 23 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They jumped the gun on Sedrick Van Pran, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Rod Moore
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went defensive back with Rod Moore while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick87 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
A reach for Shilo Sanders in Round 4, Pick 4; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A curious use of the 132nd overall pick. Interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at Round 5, Pick 5 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 182 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
