Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Trice: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bralen Trice, the No. 37 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 75. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
A edge rusher of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
Somehow Michael Hall Jr. was still sitting there in pick 110, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
No edge and no loss on Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Malik Washington
They barely believed it either: Malik Washington still on the board at the 146th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
