Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears found their guy under center in Nix: A-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Bo Nix, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The cost of the Leary reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with interior defensive lineman and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 9 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 23rd pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
The board had cheaper options than Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 11, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Ladd McConkey for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 58th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in No. 74, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with interior defensive lineman and running back open.
Pick110 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick 110 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Moose Muhammad III. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at the 186th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at Round 6, Pick 21, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good price on Curtis Jacobs in slot 205, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Devin Leary
They reached into another round for Devin Leary, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
