Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bears to a C-.

The Bears torched the value chart for JT Daniels, taking him 59 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Hit on Olumuyiwa Fashanu and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
No edge and no loss on Olumuyiwa Fashanu in No. 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 16th pick they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at slot 75 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 78th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in pick No. 81 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 JT Daniels
JT Daniels in pick 110 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
The board had cheaper options than Shemar Turner at Round 4, Pick 25, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at pick No. 146 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Layden Robinson at the 154th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
They took Fentrell Cypress II at par in slot 232, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
