Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Bears did not so much draft Drake Nugent as overpay for him, 55 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They took Rome Odunze at par in the 9th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in slot 111 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in No. 123 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slipping to pick 154 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 232nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
