Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Van Pran to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in Round 1, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 39th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
No drama and no debate, Ricky Pearsall went about where he belonged in pick 52. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in slot 58, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 60 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in No. 88. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 123rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They paid a round early for Jordan Travis in Round 5, Pick 7, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
