Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a 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.

Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The veteran additions, James Conner chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 11th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 35 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khyree Jackson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They went early on Darius Robinson in the 110th pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, James Williams a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 10 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
