Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
They are betting Ugwu proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Brade at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Bottom line, with Terrion Arnold leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 22 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In slot 30 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the 35th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in pick No. 49, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 18, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 57th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in No. 70 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
They did well to land Payton Wilson in the 71st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Good price on Malachi Corley in No. 79, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Fair-plus on Christian Mahogany, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They let Mason McCormick come to them and pounced at the 108th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 10, where Dominick Puni graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at slot 111 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
A reach on Darius Robinson in pick 112; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Beau Brade at Round 4, Pick 23 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Abrams-Draine in the 125th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
They liked Jaheim Bell enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 133. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarrian Jones in No. 134. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143
Rnd5
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd slid further than he should have, and the 143rd pick is lovely value for the running back. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 148 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick152
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A wild overpay on Joe Milton III in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Rogers a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Layden Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
They paid sticker price for Braiden McGregor in the 209th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212
Rnd6
Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu in No. 212 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
