Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Bears torched the value chart for Rasheen Ali, taking him 55 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Rucker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 10 they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 74th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in slot 110; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the 126th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A tidy little value on Jonah Monheim in pick 154, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They took Joe Milton III at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
Value with a capital V on Kaimon Rucker in pick No. 231, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at slot 234 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
