Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Richard Jibunor, 95 picks early at the 225th pick.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. at No. 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 19th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 48 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick 104 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
A reach on Luke Lachey in the 132nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the 182nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Richard Jibunor. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
