Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

On value alone, Mims makes the weekend a net positive. They will need Wiley to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 8th pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Fair-plus on Bo Nix, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims slipping to pick No. 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
The board had Payton Wilson higher than Round 2, Pick 19, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A tidy bit of business in the 56th overall pick, where Kris Jenkins graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zach Frazier in pick 66. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 DJ James
By-the-book stuff, DJ James at slot 87 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Maason Smith at Round 4, Pick 8, value and slot in agreement. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 109th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 118 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in No. 121 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray slid further than he should have, and the 134th pick is lovely value for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They liked Jared Wiley enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 186. A minor itch, scratched.
