Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears robbed the room for Thomas Jr.. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Brian Thomas Jr. had no business being available in the Round 2 slot, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick30 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 59th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at No. 75, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick111 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in pick 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Braelon Allen at pick No. 123. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in Round 5, Pick 7 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
