Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

Every board in the league had Powers-Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and linebacker. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Bullock value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 43rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Fair-plus on Kingsley Suamataia, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock is a better player than the 60th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves interior defensive lineman and linebacker untouched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 110 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Travis at the 126th pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. James Williams in No. 128 leaves interior defensive lineman and linebacker for later.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They jumped the gun on Braelon Allen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They took Austin Booker at par in pick 157, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
