Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedC+ 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. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In the end it comes back to Marvin Harrison Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 19 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
