Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Bears won the night they stopped McKinstry from sliding. Grade: B+. You build a draft on nights like this. Kool-Aid McKinstry had no business being available in Round 3, Pick 11, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 16 they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick22
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In the 22nd overall pick they get a true top target, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at Round 2, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They went early on Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 50, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
Somehow Brian Thomas Jr. was still sitting there in slot 69, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kool-Aid McKinstry
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 75 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
A real head-scratcher, Ainias Smith in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192
Rnd6
Erick All
They paid a round early for Erick All in the 192nd pick, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
