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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Getting Morgan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Bishop reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A straight-up fair deal on Olumuyiwa Fashanu at the 10th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
They read the board right and Jer'Zhan Newton was the payoff at the 26th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Nothing to complain about; Troy Franklin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Morgan in pick No. 74, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 10, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cole Bishop well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick188 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Moose Muhammad III at pick 188 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 7, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
