Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 128 is 41 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

The Robinson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 23rd overall pick they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Powers-Johnson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in pick 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Hicks this early at the Round 4 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Simpson in Round 4, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at No. 142 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in Round 5, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached into another round for Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick226 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in pick No. 226 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
