Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Sturdivant: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched J. Michael Sturdivant slide 66 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The Bolden reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Kinchens pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker and quarterback still on the board.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
By-the-book stuff, Rome Odunze at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 16 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 21 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 24th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at the 41st pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 13 on Kamren Kinchens with linebacker and quarterback unsolved.
Pick53 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in slot 53; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Good price on Malachi Corley in slot 68, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at No. 73 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in the 77th overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in pick No. 132, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Taking Khyree Jackson in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at Round 6, Pick 7 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in pick 225 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Silas Bolden
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Silas Bolden well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
