Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 59 spots for Taulia Tagovailoa, and value like that does not grow back. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rice.
Adding Nick Bosa by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A clean, defensible pick in slot 27 with a little surplus value in Dallas Turner. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick29
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 29 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
A wild overpay on Sedrick Van Pran in pick 38, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 44 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59
Rnd2
Zak Zinter
They reached into another round for Zak Zinter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
A reach on Marist Liufau in slot 76; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Value with a capital V on Brenden Rice in the 104th overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malachi Moore in No. 132, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick141
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick 141 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
A conviction pick on Drake Nugent at pick No. 149 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Taulia Tagovailoa
They talked themselves into Taulia Tagovailoa at the 182nd pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225
Rnd7
Storm Duck
Storm Duck at Round 7, Pick 5 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
