Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: 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. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A to show for it.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Robinson makes the weekend a net positive. The veteran additions, Quenton Nelson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Chop Robinson and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
No edge and no loss on Emeka Egbuka in pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the 86th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at No. 105 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roman Wilson in the 117th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice is a better player than Round 4, Pick 25 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in slot 128 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in the 130th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
