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

Nobody had Drake Nugent this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 59 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in the 9th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at slot 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 37 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A premium they did not need to pay, Cade Stover a notch or two before his time. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick69 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 5 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 75th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They read the board right and Patrick Paul was the payoff at the 76th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A reach on Christian Mahogany in No. 84; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Nice patience on Calen Bullock, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 26. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 104, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach for Johnny Wilson in the 111th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
A big swing on Dillon Johnson at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tykee Smith this early at slot 128. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick 143 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in slot 163 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 203, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
