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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Marshawn Kneeland at No. 75, a reach of 32 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Landing Sturdivant that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 52nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They reached into another round for Marshawn Kneeland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in pick No. 84, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 110. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in pick No. 127. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 146 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Fair-plus on Sam Hartman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 232nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
