Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in pick No. 147: the Bears steal McMillan and grade out a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Landing McMillan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 10th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 17 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in No. 74, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at cornerback and linebacker sat open.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Braelon Allen in the 110th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at No. 126 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in slot 147 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 188 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Jefferson
They went early on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
