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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent the Round 7 slot on Dylan McMahon, a name the board had a full 66 spots lower. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Nelson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Stover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back, cornerback and other spots still on the board.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, with Marvin Harrison Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 53 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 4 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE and leaves running back, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at pick No. 141 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 182nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
