Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in the 75th pick: the Bears steal Mims and grade out a A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Amarius Mims slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at No. 75. Highway robbery. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. If Allen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In the end it comes back to Jer'Zhan Newton, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
They paid sticker price for Jer'Zhan Newton in No. 8, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu at pick 43 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Troy Franklin
Somehow Troy Franklin was still sitting there in pick No. 74, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the 75th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 143rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A clean, defensible pick in slot 162 with a little surplus value in Ty'Ron Hopper. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They took Joshua Cephus at par in Round 7, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
