Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The Bears torched the value chart for Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him 40 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back, linebacker and other spots. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 5th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Powers-Johnson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
A straight-up fair deal on Byron Murphy II at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
The board had cheaper options than Christian Haynes at pick No. 78, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A real head-scratcher, Jaden Hicks in the 105th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Tykee Smith while clear needs at running back, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tre Harris
A big swing on Tre Harris at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick 142 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 6, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick226 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in pick No. 226 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
