Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent Round 7, Pick 33 on Charles Turner III, a name most had 33 spots down the list.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In the end it comes back to Brian Thomas Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick64 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in the 64th pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 71 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A tidy little value on Xavier Legette in slot 78, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in Round 3, Pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They read the board right and Christian Mahogany was the payoff at pick 111. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Gray at slot 123, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in No. 133. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in the 143rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They did well to land Xavier Thomas in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A conviction pick on Jalyx Hunt at the 163rd pick that the board grades a round light. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 179 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
They took Elijah Jones at par in the 190th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Value said wait; Myles Cole in the 203rd pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
