Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They will need Foster to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will answer for taking defensive back early while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots went begging.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 1 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 13 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Rod Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Rod Moore at defensive back with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick70 Rnd3 Rod Moore
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Rod Moore adds a defensive back while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick105 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Haynes in pick No. 105, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at the 132nd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
A real head-scratcher, Bryce Foster in pick 142 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 183rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at Round 7, Pick 6 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
