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

Call it larceny. Jeffrey Bassa sat on the board until the 193rd pick, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Ersery proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 10th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 39th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 23 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at slot 72 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Nice patience on Andrew Mukuba, who had no business lasting to pick No. 86. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick 193 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at No. 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
A tidy bit of business in pick 240, where Donovan Edwards graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
