Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for Jackson Powers-Johnson, 37 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Quay Walker leading the way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
No drama and no debate, Malik Nabers went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 5. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 11th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 39 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They reached a country mile for Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 43, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in slot 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
The board had cheaper options than Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Value said wait; Jaden Hicks in No. 105 says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick142 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 5, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 159 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A wild overpay on Oronde Gadsden II in the 183rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in pick 226 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathaniel Watson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
