Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Green pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still on the board.

The Knox pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Green pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
No edge and no loss on Rome Odunze in the 6th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 57th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 75 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 26; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 111 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at No. 117 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Renardo Green
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 123 on Renardo Green, a safety they were not short of.
Pick143 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 143 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A real head-scratcher, Trey Knox in the 211th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
