Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the 39th overall pick on Cooper Beebe, a name most had 39 spots down the list. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Adding Kayvon Thibodeaux by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 6 they get a seam-stretching tight end. More want than need.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A wild overpay on Cooper Beebe in No. 39, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick 47 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Corum. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They let Tykee Smith come to them and pounced at the 110th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 146th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
