Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Latham should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A-.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: JC Latham, the No. 18 name on the board, sitting there at No. 75 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Allen pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Marvin Mims Jr. leading the way.

Bottom line, with Marvin Harrison Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They let Kool-Aid McKinstry come to them and pounced at pick No. 34. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 JC Latham
Somehow JC Latham was still sitting there in pick 75, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 3 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ainias Smith. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in the 122nd pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in No. 146; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 174 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Taking JD Bertrand in Round 7, Pick 25 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
