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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, with Malik Nabers leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 3 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 JC Latham
They took JC Latham at par in pick No. 9, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at Round 3, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They paid a round early for Roger Rosengarten in pick 138, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
