Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

They will answer for taking safety early while running back, cornerback and other spots went begging. Bortolini has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They banked enough surplus on Coleman to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jared Verse and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 11 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A wild overpay on Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 1, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 53rd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 James Williams
A surprising call. With running back, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The board had Javon Foster higher than pick 135, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They paid a round early for Justin Eboigbe in the 141st pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in Round 5, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 193rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A conviction pick on Tip Reiman at pick No. 208 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
