Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Bears bet big and early on Reuben Fatheree II, 88 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Fair-plus on Mason Graham, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
They barely believed it either: James Pearce Jr. still on the board at pick No. 39. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A slide stopped in the 42nd pick, with Tate Ratledge worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at slot 73 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 113 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jalen Catalon
Nothing to complain about; Jalen Catalon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at pick 203 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 226th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Reuben Fatheree II well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
