Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Skattebo: B+.

Somebody in No. 197 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Cam Skattebo, the No. 113 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will need Mays to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 10th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 7. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 72 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at pick No. 147. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 197th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
A wild overpay on Cooper Mays in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Circle this one: Jaylen Reed at No. 244 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
