Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Fitzgerald: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ryan Fitzgerald slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 235th overall pick. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 10th pick they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Somehow Josh Simmons was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at slot 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at pick 72 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 5, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in the 235th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick242 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in pick No. 242, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
