Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Richard Jibunor in Round 7, Pick 5, a good 95 spots before the room expected him. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Benson.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 2 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Benson at No. 68 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 James Williams
They liked James Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in the 104th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Darius Robinson at the 132nd overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at the 141st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at the 182nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor in pick No. 225 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
