Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Robbie Ouzts a full 38 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Winston Jr.. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 10th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Nothing to complain about; Omarion Hampton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in the 49th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
A quiet steal in pick 72: Xavier Restrepo for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 119 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They took Ryan Fitzgerald at par in Round 5, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick233 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
They reached into another round for Robbie Ouzts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
