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

Somebody in slot 244 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. 114 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They are betting Nash proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to pick 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 2, Pick 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 72nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 76th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Taking Danny Stutsman in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 148 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nick Nash
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Nash well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 233 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at pick No. 244. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
