Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
A-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-. The Collin Schlee pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 109 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman went begging. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Keion White leading the way.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick13
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 13th pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
A conviction pick on Braelon Allen at No. 82 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 103rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in slot 106, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams at No. 109 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at pick No. 110, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A premium they did not need to pay, Cade Stover a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick136
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 136th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Good price on Nehemiah Pritchett in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Carson Steele
Carson Steele at Round 6, Pick 13 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231
Rnd7
Collin Schlee
They reached into another round for Collin Schlee, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
