Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureC
Good, not great, for the Bears: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 5, roughly 31 spots before his name belonged.

The Eichenberg value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
No edge and no loss on Marvin Harrison Jr. in the 2nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 9th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 40 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach on Sedrick Van Pran in slot 75; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. slipping to pick 100 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 10, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Abrams-Draine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
You do not let a linebacker like Tommy Eichenberg reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Frank Gore Jr. at slot 168 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in No. 180, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in the 222nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
