Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA+
Larceny in the 169th overall pick lands the Bears a B+, Lloyd and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched MarShawn Lloyd slide 39 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Van Pran pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 9 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
They paid sticker price for Kamren Kinchens in the 27th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick45 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 45th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in No. 52. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonathon Brooks in pick 66. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at slot 75 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at Round 3, Pick 20 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They robbed the room for Roman Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 111 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
By-the-book stuff, Dallin Holker at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick169 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
You do not let a running back like MarShawn Lloyd reach pick 169 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
