Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and McGlothern: A-.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into pick No. 229.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jer'Zhan Newton and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 22 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 25th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Good price on Bo Nix in slot 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Tyler Nubin. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid a round early for Xavier Worthy in the 46th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They read the board right and Kiran Amegadjie was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick No. 103 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 122nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at slot 229 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
