Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Mason McCormick at Round 4, Pick 21 is 38 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 6 they get a mismatch in the passing game. Need was not the driver here.
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 39 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 47th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 50th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at pick 70 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in slot 75. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They reached into another round for Mason McCormick, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
