Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Haynes: A-.

Call it larceny. Christian Haynes sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 10, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Gray pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 10th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In No. 29 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A tidy little value on T'Vondre Sweat in pick 61, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk slid further than he should have, and slot 72 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 110th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in Round 4, Pick 25. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Kris Abrams-Draine graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They liked Joshua Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 186. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin slipping to No. 232 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
Value with a capital V on Phil Jurkovec in slot 235, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Fair-plus on Ja'Had Carter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
