Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Saquon Barkley by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in No. 10 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slipping to the 37th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nothing to complain about; Troy Fautanu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They paid sticker price for Kamren Kinchens in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at the 110th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in pick 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at the 147th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick188 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
They went early on Darius Robinson in slot 188, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in No. 231 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
