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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bucky Irving, the No. 131 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Kyler Murray leading the way.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
By-the-book stuff, Rome Odunze at pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Somehow Jackson Powers-Johnson was still sitting there in the 53rd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at the 75th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
Steal is underselling it; Kamren Kinchens at No. 122 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
You do not let a running back like Bucky Irving reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
