Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
The Powers-Johnson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
They took Rome Odunze at par in slot 9, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick19
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick No. 19 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at the 35th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Tavion Sanders. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 71 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A tidy little value on Christian Haynes in the 79th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
They let Tykee Smith come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
They paid sticker price for Sataoa Laumea in the 123rd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at pick No. 135 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
A clean, defensible pick in slot 142 with a little surplus value in Jordan Travis. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143
Rnd5
Will Shipley
Will Shipley is a better player than the 143rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
