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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bears shredded theirs for Blake Corum. He came off 32 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 5th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
No drama and no debate, Jared Verse went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 34 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Blake Corum
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Corum in pick No. 45, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
