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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Van Pran reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On value alone, Smith makes the weekend a net positive.

The Hunter Henry deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers in pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They liked J.J. McCarthy enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 34. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sedrick Van Pran in the 68th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zak Zinter well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in Round 4, Pick 3 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and pick No. 110 is lovely value for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Nice patience on Ainias Smith, who had no business lasting to the 122nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Hart at Round 5, Pick 10 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
