Ryan Poles Burner DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears

FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-. The Bears bet big and early on Brandon Coleman, 52 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
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 Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In No. 4 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick14
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in the 14th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick27
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
They jumped the gun on Patrick Paul, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 45th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They took Trey Benson at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
They paid sticker price for Malachi Corley in No. 75, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick No. 96 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick114
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 14. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at slot 116 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
