Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Ransom fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Lathan Ransom slides to No. 149, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 10 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Nice patience on Derrick Harmon, who had no business lasting to the 39th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in pick 41. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 72 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in Round 5, Pick 10 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Value with a capital V on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 197th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Fair-plus on Teddye Buchanan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at No. 242 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
