Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears let Cowing fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Somebody in the 225th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Jacob Cowing, the No. 186 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 4th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 30 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Corley at the 68th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
A reach for Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 114; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in No. 132, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in pick 141 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
Taking Jacob Cowing in Round 7, Pick 5 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
