Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 20th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at pick No. 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in the 105th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They did well to land Cole Bishop in pick 111, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 12 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at slot 198 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They took Brevyn Spann-Ford at par in No. 235, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
