Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA+
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Bears to leave a draft.

Thomas has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Newton. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They took Marvin Harrison Jr. at par in pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They read the board right and Josh Newton was the payoff at slot 67. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They did well to land Jaheim Bell in the 146th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at pick No. 221 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
By-the-book stuff, Jeremy Flax at No. 235 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in slot 238 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
