Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Smith: B-.

Priorities are a choice, and the Bears made a strange one, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE in the Round 4 slot with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots crying out for the pick instead. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith.

The Moore reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at the 68th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They paid up for Malachi Moore at No. 141 when waiting would have done the job. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jordan Burch
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Burch at Round 6, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
They jumped the gun on Jaxson Dart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
