Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Smith: A-. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
That Smith pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
It is not that Brade is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first. The Van Pran reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 10 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 1. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick 34 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in No. 65 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ladd McConkey
They took Ladd McConkey at par in the 67th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
No drama and no debate, Kamren Kinchens went about where he belonged in pick No. 74. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick101
Rnd4
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 101st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
They did well to land MarShawn Lloyd in No. 102, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103
Rnd4
Will Shipley
A clean, defensible pick in pick 103 with a little surplus value in Will Shipley. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Beau Brade in Round 4, Pick 10 leaves interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots for later.
Pick126
Rnd4
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 126th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
The board fumbled Tykee Smith all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick147
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at slot 147 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
