Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Bears lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Javon Solomon at the 66th pick, roughly 50 spots before his name belonged.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Abrams-Draine.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in pick No. 66: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A slide stopped in pick 75, with Patrick Paul worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Taking Kris Abrams-Draine in the 110th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams is a better player than slot 137 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A tidy little value on Frank Gore Jr. in slot 231, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
