Ryan Poles Burner DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Brandon Coleman, 52 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. It is not that Hicks is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers at the 6th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick14
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Fair-plus on Tyler Nubin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick39
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in pick No. 45, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick 79 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96
Rnd3
Audric Estime
By-the-book stuff, Audric Estime at the 96th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in slot 97, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaden Hicks adds a safety and leaves interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick120
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Coleman in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
