Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bears: C+.

The Bears did not so much draft Oronde Gadsden II as overpay for him, 33 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in the 19th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They jumped the gun on JT Tuimoloau, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Good price on Quinshon Judkins in slot 72, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
The board had cheaper options than Jaylin Noel at the 84th overall pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oronde Gadsden II this early at the Round 5 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They reached a country mile for Nick Martin at slot 233, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kitan Crawford in the 240th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
