Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears won the night they stopped Bullock from sliding. Grade: A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The Bullock steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Tampa pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still on the board.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Chop Robinson and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 26th pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 58 on T.J. Tampa, a defensive back they were not short of.
Pick68 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They robbed the room for Calen Bullock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 89th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
No drama and no debate, Audric Estime went about where he belonged in No. 104. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Zach Frazier at slot 132 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in pick No. 141, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182 Rnd6 Steve Linton
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steve Linton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in the 225th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
