Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Powers-Johnson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Zack Moss deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Marvin Harrison Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 2 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 15th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 46 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick No. 67 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They went early on Malachi Corley in Round 3, Pick 11, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in slot 110; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 125th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Darius Robinson at the 146th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
