Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They will need Nugent to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Fatheree II.

The Bears indulged a want in Moore while a need in linebacker stayed open. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 5 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 24th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in slot 37. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 15 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in pick No. 52, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sedrick Van Pran in No. 68. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Rod Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 73rd pick on Rod Moore with linebacker unsolved.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 18 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 85 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 James Williams
A straight-up fair deal on James Williams at the 104th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
A want over a need in slot 115: Shilo Sanders adds a safety while linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick121 Rnd4 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick 121 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nehemiah Pritchett. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 135, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Reuben Fatheree II
You do not let an offensive lineman like Reuben Fatheree II reach pick No. 141 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick182 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Moose Muhammad III in the 182nd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taulia Tagovailoa well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
