Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a A-, for the Bears.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That Harris pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, with Michael Penix Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
They took Michael Penix Jr. at par in No. 4, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Jared Verse at the 26th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in pick 53. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
A reasonable price with a little left over, Amarius Mims in the 89th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in Round 4, Pick 4, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 110 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at slot 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick 182 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in the 225th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Value with a capital V on Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
