Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Adding Bernhard Raimann by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Rome Odunze and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 15 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Elliss at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in slot 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in pick No. 110 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 22 with a little surplus value in Darius Robinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 146th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
