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

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Polk value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The veteran additions, T.J. Watt chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Olumuyiwa Fashanu and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 37th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Ja'Lynn Polk worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 75 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
They read the board right and Donovan Edwards was the payoff at pick 110. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 125 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Travis in the 146th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
They paid sticker price for Bru McCoy in pick No. 186, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 12, where Xavier Restrepo graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
