Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

The Bears' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at Round 1, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in the 75th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James at pick No. 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
By-the-book stuff, Sataoa Laumea at slot 122 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
