Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The Fautanu steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Frazier pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Saquon Barkley gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 6 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 14th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick45 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Fautanu in the 45th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zach Frazier in slot 47, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at No. 70, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reach for Darius Robinson in pick 110; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in Round 4, Pick 22 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
No drama and no debate, Jordan Travis went about where he belonged in slot 136. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in No. 146 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
