Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The Ezeiruaku pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at No. 39 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 41st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Noel at Round 2, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in the 72nd overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Nothing to complain about; Andrew Mukuba went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A reach on Ty Robinson in pick 148; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
