Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the Round 7 slot on Taulia Tagovailoa, a name most had 159 spots down the list.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while linebacker went begging. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 3 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick5 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A straight-up fair deal on Rome Odunze at pick 5, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in the 17th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slipping to the 69th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With linebacker still to address, they spent pick No. 81 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick105 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in Round 4, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
A premium they did not need to pay, Nehemiah Pritchett a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 142nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tre Harris
A slide stopped in No. 183, with Tre Harris worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Value said wait; Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 226 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at pick No. 237 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
