Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-.

The Bears torched the value chart for Brandon Coleman, taking him 46 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Roy Robertson-Harris pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, with Brock Bowers leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 4 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. More want than need.
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid up for Patrick Paul at slot 36 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 48; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Value said wait; Darius Robinson in pick No. 75 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They went early on Jaden Hicks in No. 96, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick 110 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at the 122nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
