Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in pick 229 lands the Bears a A-, McCoy and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Bru McCoy, pick 229, roughly 41 picks past where he belonged. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still on the board. They are betting Van Pran proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 10 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A quiet steal in the 66th pick: Calen Bullock for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
By-the-book stuff, Adisa Isaac at No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid up for Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in pick 110, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots to take Jaden Hicks, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Johnson at No. 146, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 186, where Jacob Cowing graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Circle this one: Bru McCoy at the 229th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at Round 7, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
