Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in Round 4, Pick 22: the Bears steal Guyton and grade out a A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tyler Guyton tumbling to the Bears in the 122nd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Bottom line, with Malik Nabers leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Value with a capital V on J.J. McCarthy in pick 44, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 47th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 70th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Junior Colson
You do not let a linebacker like Junior Colson reach No. 75 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
The board had Bralen Trice higher than pick No. 77, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
Taking Tyler Guyton in Round 4, Pick 22 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
