Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears found their guy under center in Penix Jr.: A-.

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Every board in the league had McCormick lower, and that gap is the story.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Michael Penix Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. in the 9th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick27 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In pick 27 they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at slot 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick48 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach for Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in No. 75. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 93 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A clean, defensible pick in the 114th overall pick with a little surplus value in Maason Smith. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason McCormick well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
