Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The Wingo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
No drama and no debate, Calen Bullock went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 8. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
The board had cheaper options than Mekhi Wingo at the 55th overall pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 74 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in pick No. 83, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They jumped the gun on Kiran Amegadjie, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at No. 110 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at slot 126 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
