Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Darius Robinson at No. 45 regardless, 76 picks early.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
No drama and no debate, Brock Bowers went about where he belonged in pick 4. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 35th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick No. 45 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in the 66th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 71st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A big swing on Jaden Hicks at Round 3, Pick 11, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They jumped the gun on Malik Washington, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They reached a country mile for Christian Jones at pick 122, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
