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

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 3, Pick 8 on Oluwafemi Oladejo a full 69 spots early. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. On value alone, Monangai makes the weekend a net positive.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 18th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A tidy bit of business in slot 41, where Emeka Egbuka graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 72 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They took Chris Paul Jr. at par in pick No. 82, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 35 is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Moore at the 148th overall pick is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick230 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They did well to land Carson Vinson in No. 230, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in slot 233, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Taking Kyle Monangai in the 234th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 John Williams
A real head-scratcher, John Williams in Round 7, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
