Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Smith: B-.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 5 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Ainias Smith, the No. 169 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cost of the McMahon reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value.
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 4th pick they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in slot 68, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zach Frazier this early at pick No. 104. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reach for Darius Robinson in the 132nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at pick 141, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ainias Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 225 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan McMahon well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
