Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bears to a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Trey Knox in the 222nd pick, a good 48 spots before the room expected him.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 3 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 19th pick they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 76 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Rod Moore
They paid sticker price for Rod Moore in the 81st overall pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at the 88th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They jumped the gun on Kiran Amegadjie, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They went early on Brenden Rice in pick 105, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Max Melton
They took Max Melton at par in slot 113, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at Round 4, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
No drama and no debate, Smael Mondon Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 129. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A wild overpay on Ainias Smith in No. 131, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
Nice patience on James Williams, who had no business lasting to the 137th overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 138th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick No. 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 5, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 183 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Value said wait; Kamal Hadden in the 193rd overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Steve Linton
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steve Linton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Knox well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at the 226th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson in slot 236 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
