Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The final tally is a middling C.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Hit on Rome Odunze and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Elliss at No. 44 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
No drama and no debate, Jalen McMillan went about where he belonged in the 75th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in pick 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 DJ James
A straight-up fair deal on DJ James at slot 111, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 7 is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
