Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

Nobody else had Nadame Tucker anywhere near pick 129. The Bears did, by 34 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Sarratt falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
A quiet steal in No. 60: Keith Abney II for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the 77th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 93 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in the 129th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
