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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lathan Ransom, pick No. 197, roughly 87 picks past where he belonged.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 39th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 41st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to slot 72. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in No. 197 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 242 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
