Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Stover: A-.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cade Stover fell into slot 174. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. With interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on defensive back is the choice that costs them.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick 24 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at No. 53 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
A curious use of the 65th overall pick. Interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; a defensive back in Cooper DeJean did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick96 Rnd3 Graham Barton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Graham Barton. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick No. 104 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in slot 123, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 126 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in pick 132; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They let Beau Brade come to them and pounced at pick No. 138. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in Round 5, Pick 5, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
A slide stopped in slot 165, with Devontez Walker worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 174th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick182 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 182nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at No. 225 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They jumped the gun on LaDarius Henderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
