Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA FutureA+
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

The Jaheim Bell pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 68 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Stover pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back, cornerback and other spots. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in slot 5 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at No. 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Worthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A big swing on Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in Round 3, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaheim Bell this early at the 69th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at slot 105 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at tight end with running back, cornerback and other spots open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 133 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
