Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueD NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did enough to get by: C.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Matthew Jones at slot 123 regardless, 137 picks early. The final tally is a middling C.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. With edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on TE-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Hit on Marvin Harrison Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Marvin Harrison Jr. at the 1st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick9 Rnd1 Sedrick Van Pran
In pick 9 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in slot 75 leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots for later.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A reach for Tommy Eichenberg in the 111th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in pick No. 123 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Zion Logue
They reached into another round for Zion Logue, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
