Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA
The Bears robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: B.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Johnny Wilson, the No. 75 name on the board, in the 122nd pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Van Pran reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 3 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Taking Jared Verse in slot 34 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A premium they did not need to pay, Sedrick Van Pran a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braden Fiske
Somehow Braden Fiske was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 3, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in No. 110, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 122 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Nothing to complain about; Ben Sinnott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
