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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 36 spots for Alfred Collins, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Dumas-Johnson. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 13 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slipping to No. 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick42 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Steal is underselling it; Denzel Burke at pick No. 42 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick45 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the 45th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A tidy little value on Blake Miller in the 73rd pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They will replay Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
A wild overpay on Alfred Collins in slot 112, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at the 137th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Fair-plus on Akheem Mesidor, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
A clean, defensible pick in the 176th pick with a little surplus value in Fentrell Cypress II. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Khordae Sydnor
No edge and no loss on Khordae Sydnor in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
