Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears let Fitzgerald fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ryan Fitzgerald tumbling to the Bears in pick 235 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in slot 41. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 72 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at the 149th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at the 235th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick242 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 7, Pick 24 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
