Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The phones sank the Bears this weekend: C+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kobe Hudson tumbling to the Bears in Round 7, Pick 17 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The Garcia pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Hit on Derrick Harmon and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They did well to land Derrick Harmon in Round 2, Pick 1, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No edge and no loss on Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 72nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A conviction pick on Damien Martinez at pick 149 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 165 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick197 Rnd6 Upton Stout
They let Upton Stout come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 19. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick202 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues slid further than he should have, and slot 202 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in No. 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trey Zuhn III in the 242nd pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gino Garcia. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
