Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

They are betting Cohen proves the room right and everyone else wrong. With edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 13 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick No. 56 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They took Kamren Kinchens at par in pick 57, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with James Williams while clear needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick143 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javion Cohen this early at No. 143. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the 225th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
