Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Bears indulged a want in Smith while a need in interior defensive lineman and quarterback stayed open. That Gray pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rome Odunze. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 41st pick, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick48 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 57th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at pick 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 88 on Maason Smith with interior defensive lineman and quarterback unsolved.
Pick90 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A straight-up fair deal on Audric Estime at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reach for Darius Robinson in pick No. 110; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Max Melton
A clean, defensible pick in pick 116 with a little surplus value in Max Melton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at slot 122 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A quiet steal in pick No. 146: Cedric Gray for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in Round 6, Pick 13 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick203 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 203rd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
