Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears let Hopper fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 8 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They paid sticker price for Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 9th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 75 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 110 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 127th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 James Williams
Value with a capital V on James Williams in pick 146, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
You do not let a linebacker like Ty'Ron Hopper reach the 186th overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board had Blake Watson higher than Round 7, Pick 12, and the running back fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
