Draft Grade — Bears

FutureA+
The Bears let Dixon fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
On value alone, Dixon makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Powers-Johnson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
In the end it comes back to Malik Nabers, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In slot 3 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 34th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
A quiet steal in pick 75: Javon Bullard for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103
Rnd4
Malik Washington
They liked Malik Washington enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in No. 122 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Johnny Dixon
They will replay Johnny Dixon at the 146th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
Good price on Grayson Murphy in pick 175, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250
Rnd7
Kurtis Rourke
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 30 with a little surplus value in Kurtis Rourke. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
