Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears let Wilson fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The T.J. Watt deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Olumuyiwa Fashanu and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick16 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 16 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 69th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 105 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
The board fumbled Roman Wilson all the way to slot 128, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
