Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears won the night they stopped McCoy from sliding. Grade: A-.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Bru McCoy fell into No. 225. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Spending an early pick on defensive back with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick34 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at slot 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A quiet steal in pick 54: Jordan Morgan for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
No drama and no debate, Barrett Carter went about where he belonged in the 69th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Terrion Arnold
A curious use of No. 85. Edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a defensive back in Terrion Arnold did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Max Melton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 105 on Max Melton with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick117 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in the 117th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 132 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Good price on Cole Bishop in pick No. 141, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick182 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at No. 182 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 225 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
