Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
Grand theft in the 186th overall pick: the Bears steal Allen and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Braelon Allen got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 186. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Frost pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 D.J. James
The board had D.J. James higher than the 75th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in Round 5, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
Taking Johnny Dixon in No. 146 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
A running back of that caliber at slot 186 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
A reach for Aaron Frost in pick 232; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
