Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Bears walked right past.

Getting Sturdivant where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They are betting Sanders proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Alt. The roster fit checks out.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 10th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick No. 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and J. Michael Sturdivant at the 110th pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at No. 147 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at slot 188 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
No edge and no loss on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
