Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Bryson Nesbit at slot 188 is 113 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding John Franklin-Myers by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 8 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at slot 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A straight-up fair deal on J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in the 74th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in Round 4, Pick 10 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ashton Gillotte
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ashton Gillotte in pick 126, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They reached a country mile for Jacob Cowing at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryson Nesbit this early at Round 6, Pick 13. It adds depth where they could use a little.
