Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears let Carson fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Carson. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Zay Flowers leading the way.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In the end it comes back to Cooper DeJean, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at No. 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No edge and no loss on Matt Goncalves in the 109th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 121st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
