Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a D+ to match.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

Whatever Bo Nix becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Bears indulged a want in Williams while a need in interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots stayed open. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Muhammad III.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 10 they get a franchise quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick No. 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 74th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick126 Rnd4 Theo Wease
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
They went early on Ashton Gillotte in No. 147, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A conviction pick on Oronde Gadsden II at slot 188 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Moose Muhammad III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Moose Muhammad III in pick No. 231, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They will replay Jordan Whittington at No. 248 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
