A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

Priorities are a choice, and the Bears made a strange one, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE in slot 74 with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Puni. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 10 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick74 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 74th pick. Edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A tidy bit of business in the 110th overall pick, where Dominick Puni graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
