Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 29 spots for Braelon Allen, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Fair-plus on Tyler Nubin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sedrick Van Pran this early at pick 68. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in No. 75 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A tidy little value on Zak Zinter in slot 100, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They went early on Darius Robinson in pick No. 103, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They talked themselves into Jaheim Bell at slot 110, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They paid up for Joe Milton III at pick 146 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
