Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bears to a D-.

The Bears spent real capital to be 58 picks early on Eli Cox, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Gray value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Nice patience on Will Campbell, who had no business lasting to slot 14. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick33 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They read the board right and JT Tuimoloau was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 1. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slid further than he should have, and pick No. 41 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They paid sticker price for Walter Nolen in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
No edge and no loss on Ashton Jeanty in the 46th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick 50 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A clean, defensible pick in pick 73 with a little surplus value in Blake Miller. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at slot 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Clay Webb
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Clay Webb in the 82nd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
They barely believed it either: Jaxson Dart still on the board at No. 96. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jason Marshall Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Antwane Wells Jr. at pick No. 107 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in the 110th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
A straight-up fair deal on Jahdae Barron at Round 4, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jordan Hancock
A tidy bit of business in No. 128, where Jordan Hancock graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Eli Cox
A big swing on Eli Cox at slot 137, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
The board fumbled Joshua Gray all the way to the 139th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Caden Prieskorn
They took Caden Prieskorn at par in pick 146, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick155 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aubrey Burks. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick160 Rnd5 Fentrell Cypress II
A reach on Fentrell Cypress II in pick No. 160; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at Round 6, Pick 11 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tim Smith
The board had Tim Smith higher than the 178th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
A slide stopped in slot 189, with Bru McCoy worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Eugene Asante
A straight-up fair deal on Eugene Asante at pick 192, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd7 Moose Muhammad III
A tidy little value on Moose Muhammad III in No. 194, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd7 Carson Hinzman
They took Carson Hinzman at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd7 Deshawn Pace
Deshawn Pace at pick No. 210 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sage Ryan
Sage Ryan in the 224th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
