Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Fiske should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Braden Fiske slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at No. 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick43 Rnd2 Michael Penix Jr.
The board fumbled Michael Penix Jr. all the way to slot 43, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Value with a capital V on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 2, Pick 13, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They will replay Braden Fiske at the 75th pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Austin Booker at pick No. 79. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 109th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 141 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They did well to land Jared Wiley in Round 5, Pick 7, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
A quiet steal in pick 187: Chau Smith-Wade for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
They read the board right and Sione Vaki was the payoff at No. 197. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern slid further than he should have, and the 199th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
