Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
D-

NeedB+
TradesF
FutureD+
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the D-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Crawford lower, and that gap is the story. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the 10th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick96
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 96 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
They paid sticker price for Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 161, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
A reach for Kitan Crawford in the 233rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
