Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
Odunze should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Odunze pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 4th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
They robbed the room for Rome Odunze here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kalen King
Circle this one: Kalen King at Round 3, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slid further than he should have, and pick 104 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Nice patience on Khyree Jackson, who had no business lasting to No. 141. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Good price on Tyler Batty in No. 182, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
