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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Markis Deal a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Nwankpa pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nyck Harbor in the 36th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick48 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They will replay Dillon Thieneman at pick No. 48 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
By-the-book stuff, Sonny Styles at No. 80 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in pick 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Barion Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barion Brown in Round 5, Pick 17, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Rueben Owens
A premium they did not need to pay, Rueben Owens a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Markis Deal
They reached a country mile for Markis Deal at slot 248, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
