Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Thrash should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They banked enough surplus on Thrash to cover a lot of smaller sins. They are betting Wiley proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In the end it comes back to Rome Odunze, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 12 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick No. 26 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A clean, defensible pick in No. 37 with a little surplus value in Troy Fautanu. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 40 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in the 67th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maason Smith
No drama and no debate, Maason Smith went about where he belonged in the 82nd overall pick. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Audric Estime. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jamari Thrash in the 110th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in slot 122, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at pick 126 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 142 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in slot 146, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the 167th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A premium they did not need to pay, JD Bertrand a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They jumped the gun on Jared Wiley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
