Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Bears bet big and early on Nick Martin, 33 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jeanty.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at Round 1, Pick 10 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in slot 39, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 72 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 148 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at pick No. 233 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at No. 240 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
