Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: B+.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Bo Nix, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick46 Rnd2 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick No. 68 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in No. 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
No drama and no debate, Zach Frazier went about where he belonged in pick 132. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 141 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A reasonable price with a little left over, De'Corian Clark in the 182nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Caden Prieskorn
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caden Prieskorn. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
