Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for DeJean: A-.

When a board-topper like Cooper DeJean slides to No. 104, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Travis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 14 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 62nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Travis in pick 68 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to pick No. 132 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 5, Pick 5 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid a round early for Curtis Jacobs in the 182nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at pick No. 225 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
