Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B+
ValueC+
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.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With linebacker and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
If Estime pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick 14 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In the 23rd overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kamren Kinchens
In No. 27 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at the 59th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80
Rnd3
Audric Estime
The board had cheaper options than Audric Estime at slot 80, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
DJ James
DJ James at pick No. 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Cole Bishop in pick No. 123 leaves linebacker and quarterback for later.
Pick143
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
A reach on Braelon Allen in pick 143; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
