Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Larceny in No. 146 lands the Bears a B+, Adams and all.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Adams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The E.J. Speed pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 4th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 15 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They let Kamari Lassiter come to them and pounced at pick No. 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jackson Powers-Johnson went about where he belonged in pick 46. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good price on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 66th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Fisher at pick No. 100, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Ainias Smith a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 110 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
They jumped the gun on James Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick146 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in No. 146 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
