Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the C.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Washington at that price is a win they earned.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
They took Taliese Fuaga at par in No. 13, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in pick 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They let Malik Washington come to them and pounced at slot 110. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A reach on Mohamed Kamara in the 122nd pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Nathaniel Watson for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
