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

Nobody else had Mark Fletcher Jr. anywhere near the 155th overall pick. The Bears did, by 35 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Singleton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Rueben Bain Jr. in pick No. 16. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 48 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They liked Caleb Tiernan enough to skip the value, taking him in the 80th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tao Johnson
A quiet steal in the 126th pick: Tao Johnson for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Value said wait; Mark Fletcher Jr. in No. 155 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Nwankpa at Round 6, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick229 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
Marquis Johnson in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Ethan O'Connor at the 248th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
