Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

There is reaching, and then there is Erick All at Round 4, Pick 30. The Bears jumped the board by 74 and dared it to prove them wrong. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
No edge and no loss on Rome Odunze in Round 1, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 62 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They paid up for Calen Bullock at the 75th pick when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick93 Rnd3 Javon Foster
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javon Foster this early at No. 93. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 110th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the 116th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Fair-plus on Josh Newton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Erick All
A big swing on Erick All at pick No. 130, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick230 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the 230th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
