Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA+
Larceny in pick No. 183 lands the Bears a B, Pritchett and all.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nehemiah Pritchett fell into slot 183. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Powers-Johnson lower, and that gap is the story.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers at pick No. 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 5 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
The board fumbled Bralen Trice all the way to the 36th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 37th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A premium they did not need to pay, Beau Brade a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
Fair-plus on J. Michael Sturdivant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They went early on Devin Neal in Round 5, Pick 6, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
They robbed the room for Nehemiah Pritchett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at the 226th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
