Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Myles Jones, 22 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Dixon that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in the 75th pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at pick 110, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Johnny Dixon in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 146 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in pick No. 192 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
