Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Verse steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Milton III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 5 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Jared Verse at pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tory Horton
They paid sticker price for Tory Horton in slot 105, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Max Melton
A slide stopped in the 128th overall pick, with Max Melton worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
The board had cheaper options than Jonah Monheim at pick No. 142, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 183rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
They paid up for Kamal Hadden at pick 226 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
