Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. With interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
They took Laiatu Latu at par in pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 32nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 75th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at Round 4, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cole Bishop at safety with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots open.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in No. 146; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
