Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Braelon Allen at slot 123, a reach of 32 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback, linebacker and other spots went begging.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
A clean, defensible pick in the 20th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jared Verse. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece. More want than need.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 75 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Hall Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They took Ainias Smith at par in slot 111, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 121 on Cole Bishop with cornerback, linebacker and other spots unsolved.
Pick123 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 123 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A real head-scratcher, Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 143 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at the 198th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
