Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Bears let Perkins Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Harold Perkins Jr., the No. 14 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 84th pick.

The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 20th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
A tidy little value on Patrick Payton in No. 51, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick 52 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They will replay Xavier Watts at slot 83 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Perkins Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Deion Burks
They paid up for Deion Burks at the 93rd pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Trey Zuhn III. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
They reached into another round for Bear Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in the 148th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 6, Pick 20 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Logan Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Jones in slot 182, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
