Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Ransom from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Lathan Ransom tumbling to the Bears in No. 149 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Every board in the league had Edwards lower, and that gap is the story. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 10th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 7, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon is a better player than pick No. 41 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 149th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
The board had Jaylen Reed higher than slot 197, and the safety fell to them anyway. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in No. 235 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
A wild overpay on Donovan Edwards in pick 242, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
