Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the Round 5 slot on T.J. Sanders, a name most had 33 spots down the list.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Tampa steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 4th pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A straight-up fair deal on Rome Odunze at Round 1, Pick 10, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick35 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They took JT Tuimoloau at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 66 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at the 74th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 4, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A quiet steal in the 126th pick: Donovan Jackson for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in pick No. 147 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Jefferson
A reach on Jordan Jefferson in the 231st overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
