Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Nobody had Braiden McGregor this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 72 spots to get him at Round 5, Pick 7.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 2 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 10 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 36th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at the 72nd pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 11, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 11: Jacob Cowing for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 112th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick 123 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick143 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They reached a country mile for Braiden McGregor at pick No. 143, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
