Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. If Zinter pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in No. 40, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They took Cooper DeJean at par in pick 49, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Sawyer at slot 68, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid up for Zak Zinter at the 72nd pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
