Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Braelon Allen at No. 122, a reach of 29 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 35 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 71 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at Round 3, Pick 11 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at slot 110 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 22 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javion Cohen. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
