Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bears did exactly that with Joe Milton III in the 75th overall pick. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In the end it comes back to Olumuyiwa Fashanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 7 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 9 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 26th overall pick they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 40th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A reach for Christian Haynes in pick No. 67; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at No. 71 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at pick No. 75, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 4, Pick 14 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They went early on Jaden Hicks in slot 116, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
