Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- 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.
