Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for De'Corian Clark, 36 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Williams pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A quiet steal in slot 39: Tyler Nubin for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick47 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Fair-plus on J.J. McCarthy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 75th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in pick No. 110, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 22: James Williams adds a safety while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at slot 123, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Cedric Johnson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for De'Corian Clark. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
