Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

If Nugent pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The Smith pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 32nd overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Blake Corum
A conviction pick on Blake Corum at Round 2, Pick 32 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the 95th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in pick 122, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick No. 146 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
