Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears let Mahogany fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Christian Mahogany fell into pick No. 225.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Powers-Johnson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 9th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins is a better player than the 41st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in slot 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 3, Pick 4 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick 73 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Graham Barton
Nothing to complain about; Graham Barton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 132 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in No. 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 225th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
