Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Bears robbed the room for Ransom. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Lathan Ransom slide 42 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 10 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in No. 39. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board had Omarion Hampton higher than the 49th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Ivey. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at the 149th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 167 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Steal is underselling it; Karene Reid at slot 235 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They robbed the room for Chimere Dike here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
