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

Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Reaching for DeJean left real value on the table behind him.

The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Bijan Robinson leading the way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 8 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A reach on Cooper DeJean in slot 40; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 80th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
