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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A straight-up fair deal on Rome Odunze at pick 6, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 22nd overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 68th pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 83 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 23; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A big swing on Tykee Smith at pick No. 104, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at No. 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
