Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-.

Some picks age like wine; Jared Wiley at pick 143 will need to, sitting 56 spots clear of his grade.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Green pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. The Green value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 14 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick 60 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A tidy little value on Jaden Hicks in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 99 with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at the 111th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Renardo Green in No. 123 leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick 129 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
A big swing on Jared Wiley at Round 5, Pick 7, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick230 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Fair-plus on Rasheen Ali, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
