Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

The Bears' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Zinter. The cost of the Van Pran reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A conviction pick on Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 11 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zak Zinter in the 111th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at the 123rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A reach on Theo Johnson in pick 143; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
