ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Bears spent Round 4, Pick 11 on Maason Smith while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat unaddressed.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Bishop pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
No drama and no debate, Olumuyiwa Fashanu went about where he belonged in No. 9. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 75th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 111 on Maason Smith with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A quiet steal in pick No. 123: Cole Bishop for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick143 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
