Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Harris Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Daniels that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rome Odunze. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the 71st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James is a better player than pick 75 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Corley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at slot 146 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 JT Daniels
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing JT Daniels in No. 186. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
Value said wait; Donell Harris Jr. in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
