Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Bears found their guy under center in Nix: D.

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Whatever Bo Nix becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Williams pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots.

The cost of the Foster reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wease Jr..

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get the face of the franchise, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at the 38th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in pick No. 74 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They let Javon Bullard come to them and pounced at the 75th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mohamed Kamara in slot 127; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots to take James Williams, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in No. 146 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick186 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 186, where Theo Wease Jr. graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick 205 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
They jumped the gun on Khordae Sydnor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
