Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick9 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 9th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 17 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in No. 36 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at Round 2, Pick 16 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the 60th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Good price on Byron Murphy II in slot 81, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick 97 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
