Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears won the night they stopped Tampa from sliding. Grade: A.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tampa. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The veteran additions, Will McDonald IV chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 7th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Johnny Wilson
In slot 32 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 105 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in pick 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
