Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Hicks should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jaden Hicks slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 110th overall pick. Highway robbery. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The Schrader reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Fair-plus on Joe Alt, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick21 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Payton Wilson at pick 34, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A big swing on Zak Zinter at pick No. 75, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A tidy little value on Brenden Rice in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Circle this one: Jaden Hicks at No. 110 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the 122nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
