Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears robbed the room for Hardy. Final grade: A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

On value alone, Hardy makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The Gray pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 5 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at pick No. 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
They paid sticker price for Mike Sainristil in the 59th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at slot 109 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A reach for Jordan Travis in pick No. 140; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Somehow Trevor Keegan was still sitting there in the 182nd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in pick 217 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Barrett in the 222nd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They paid a round early for Eyabi Okie-Anoma in No. 254, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
