Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Drake Nugent pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 58 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 17 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 31st overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach on J.J. McCarthy in the 36th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 8. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Fair-plus on Kamari Lassiter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at pick No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
A reach for Isaac Guerendo in the 94th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Johnny Wilson at slot 111, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 125th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick No. 139 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They reached into another round for Luke McCaffrey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in No. 145, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 6, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at the 183rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They liked Edefuan Ulofoshio enough to skip the value, taking him in the 233rd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
