Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for McCoy: A-.

Somebody in slot 226 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Bru McCoy, the No. 172 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Reaching for Robinson left real value on the table behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
No edge and no loss on Joe Alt in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 17 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamren Kinchens in the 36th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 2, Pick 17 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
They took Princely Umanmielen at par in the 68th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 D.J. James
No drama and no debate, D.J. James went about where he belonged in slot 69. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Quinyon Mitchell
The board had Quinyon Mitchell higher than pick 105, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They did well to land Jalen McMillan in pick No. 115, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 132nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
A conviction pick on Jasheen Davis at Round 6, Pick 8 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Taking Bru McCoy in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
