Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Bassa: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jeffrey Bassa at the 228th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Majors pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter in the 9th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in No. 36, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in pick No. 41, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Value said wait; Jake Majors in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
The board had cheaper options than DeMonte Capehart at slot 146, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
They robbed the room for Nicholas Singleton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick 228 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at Round 7, Pick 30. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
