Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in the 104th overall pick lands the Bears a A-, Bullard and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Javon Bullard at pick No. 104 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They took Olumuyiwa Fashanu at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jared Verse
They will replay Jared Verse at the 35th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at pick 104 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in No. 111 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A tidy little value on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 123rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
