Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureA+
Few false notes in the Bears' weekend. Grade: A-.

The Bears bet big and early on Richard Jibunor, 95 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

Landing Kinchens that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Taron Johnson gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Marvin Harrison Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
No drama and no debate, Marvin Harrison Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 1. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick18 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 18th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They read the board right and Kingsley Suamataia was the payoff at slot 58. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 68 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
You do not let a safety like Kamren Kinchens reach Round 4, Pick 4 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at pick 141. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
A wild overpay on Dylan McMahon in pick No. 201, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
A big swing on Richard Jibunor at slot 225, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
