Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ali reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Adding A.J. Brown by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 9 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at Round 2, Pick 18 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 57th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Good price on Adisa Isaac in pick 75, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 125th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A tidy little value on Jordan Travis in slot 146, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at Round 6, Pick 11 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They paid up for Ja'Had Carter at No. 232 when waiting would have done the job. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
