Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Bears indulged a want in Moore while a need in running back, cornerback and other spots stayed open.

Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Marvin Harrison Jr. at pick No. 1, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick32 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In slot 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in the 51st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Rod Moore
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, cornerback and other spots to take Rod Moore, a defensive back that was not the priority.
Pick105 Rnd4 Max Melton
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Max Melton adds a defensive back and leaves running back, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in No. 132, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Byron Murphy II
They reached into another round for Byron Murphy II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Landon Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Landon Jackson at the 226th overall pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Layden Robinson
They talked themselves into Layden Robinson at slot 231, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
