Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Ben Bywater at pick No. 231. The Bears jumped the board by 22 and dared it to prove them wrong. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Jackson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick No. 36 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Landon Jackson
Value with a capital V on Landon Jackson in pick 74, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 104th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
The board had Tyler Davis higher than the Round 4 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at Round 4, Pick 26 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Adams in the 147th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 163. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick188 Rnd6 JT Daniels
JT Daniels at No. 188 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Layden Robinson at slot 190, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at pick 231 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
