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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Brade lower, and that gap is the story.

Getting Trotter Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick 22 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 DJ James
No drama and no debate, DJ James went about where he belonged in the 53rd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They paid sticker price for Zach Frazier in pick No. 60, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 3, Pick 11. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A tidy little value on Matt Goncalves in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 122nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
