Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Powers-Johnson should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Powers-Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th pick they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at slot 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 75th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 82 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in pick 110, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A conviction pick on Jordan Travis at slot 122 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A tidy little value on Ben Sinnott in No. 146, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
