Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The cost of the Wingo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Landing Fisher that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The veteran additions, Derwin James Jr. chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jared Verse and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 13 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid up for Xavier Worthy at pick 37 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They liked Ja'Tavion Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in the 39th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick47 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
They reached into another round for Mekhi Wingo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in No. 69, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 6, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They went early on Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Blake Fisher at the 110th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in pick No. 122. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 10 is lovely value for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick190 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A straight-up fair deal on JD Bertrand at the 190th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
