Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The Abrams-Draine pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Hit on Joe Alt and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
They paid sticker price for Jer'Zhan Newton in slot 9, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
No edge and no loss on Chop Robinson in No. 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in Round 4, Pick 10 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 127th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 133rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A tidy little value on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 146, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They took Andrew Raym at par in slot 186, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nathaniel Watson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
