Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Johnson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kaleb Johnson got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the 147th pick.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Burks lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 10 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in the 39th overall pick, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than slot 41 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Somehow Harold Fannin Jr. was still sitting there in the 72nd pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to No. 147, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Taking Connor Colby in pick 193 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Deion Burks
They went early on Deion Burks in Round 7, Pick 24, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
