Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-.

The Bears ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

It is not that Sanders is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first. The Muhammad III pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 31 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in the 40th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They paid sticker price for Caelen Carson in the 68th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
A curious use of slot 103. Running back, linebacker and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Shilo Sanders did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They did well to land Tyler Davis in pick 104, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Value with a capital V on Roman Wilson in pick No. 132, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Zach Frazier
Fair-plus on Zach Frazier, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
The board had Moose Muhammad III higher than pick No. 182, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Mario Williams
Mario Williams at pick 225 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
