Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B to prove it.

For all the boxes ticked, the Bears skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

DeJean has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
No drama and no debate, Marvin Harrison Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 1. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick14 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
The board had cheaper options than Cooper DeJean at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 68th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They went early on Audric Estime in pick 104, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at No. 132, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
