Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Bears lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

The Tory Horton selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 48 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
By-the-book stuff, JT Tuimoloau at No. 29 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in pick No. 61 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 74 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in the 116th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in slot 147 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They paid up for Michael Barrett at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at pick 188 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu in the 231st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
