TO PICK
 
Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-.

Nobody else had Braelon Allen anywhere near the Round 4 slot. The Bears did, by 41 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, with Marvin Harrison Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marvin Harrison Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick15 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid a round early for Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 8, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 46 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick 67 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in the 79th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in slot 96, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braelon Allen. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
A reach on James Williams in No. 116; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
