Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B.

The Bears spent real capital to be 22 picks early on Drake Nugent, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Smith where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 4th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 35, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They jumped the gun on Blake Corum, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A conviction pick on Mike Sainristil at No. 75 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They let Tykee Smith come to them and pounced at pick No. 110. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at Round 5, Pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
