Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureA+
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 95 spots for Richard Jibunor, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Sainristil pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 26th pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in slot 45; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper DeJean in Round 2, Pick 26. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in pick No. 82 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in pick No. 104, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Max Melton in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 132nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 141 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tyler Guyton
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to Round 6, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Mike Sainristil
They will replay Mike Sainristil at the 217th pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan McMahon well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at pick 225 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
