Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureA+
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 13: the Bears steal Alexander and grade out a A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Zy Alexander, the No. 164 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 188.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first. The Frazier reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In the end it comes back to Jared Verse, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 10th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick15 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at pick No. 15, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They paid up for Zach Frazier at No. 74 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in pick 78: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Fair-plus on Matt Goncalves, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in slot 114, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in the 126th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in Round 4, Pick 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 147th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
A cornerback of that caliber at the 188th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
A quiet steal in pick 231: Kaimon Rucker for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
