Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Braelon Allen at the 103rd overall pick, a reach of 52 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hardy.

The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Rome Odunze and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 13 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Fair-plus on Tyler Nubin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 38th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in pick No. 75 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Value said wait; Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
The board had cheaper options than Isaiah Adams at the 110th pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 122 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at pick 146 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They paid up for JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 9 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in pick No. 234 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
