Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
A-

NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Penix Jr.: A-. The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The Laube pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
They banked enough surplus on Washington to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 11 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value.
Pick12
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In slot 12 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick 27 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in the 66th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Hall Jr. a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 111 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
Malik Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malik Washington in the 114th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 123: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They paid a round early for Ben Sinnott in the 124th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128
Rnd4
Dylan Laube
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Laube this early at slot 128. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
They paid up for Xavier Thomas at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
