Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Bears ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Hall Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 10 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 6, where Troy Franklin graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 72 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 DJ James
They paid a round early for DJ James in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They did well to land Ainias Smith in slot 123, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Nice patience on Cole Bishop, who had no business lasting to pick No. 143. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
