Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Frank Gore Jr. a full 66 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Puni makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in No. 44, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the 74th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominick Puni at Round 4, Pick 10. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
They liked Seth McLaughlin enough to skip the value, taking him in the 112th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Nothing to complain about; Jaylin Simpson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 188th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in Round 7, Pick 11 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
