Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

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 sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They are betting Laumea proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 9th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in pick 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at slot 75, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100 Rnd3 Sataoa Laumea
A big swing on Sataoa Laumea at No. 100, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cole Bishop at safety with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They did well to land Jaheim Bell in Round 5, Pick 10, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick253 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chad Lindberg. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
