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

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Landing Nix that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Sinnott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In the end it comes back to Malik Nabers, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers in slot 4 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In No. 26 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bo Nix
They let Bo Nix come to them and pounced at pick No. 36. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at Round 3, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 71st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Corley. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 100th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reach on Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at pick 127 when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
