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

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.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Van Pran to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Getting Kinchens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Hit on Laiatu Latu and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 8th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the 9th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at Round 2, Pick 6 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in No. 110, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Melton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at slot 125. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in pick 146 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at pick No. 186 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett slid further than he should have, and pick No. 205 is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dwight McGlothern in the 232nd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
