Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Lawson from sliding. Grade: B.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Deontae Lawson, the No. 93 name on the board, in pick No. 148.

If Lacy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 11 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to Round 2, Pick 7 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They paid sticker price for Derrick Harmon in the 42nd pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in slot 73 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at No. 148 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyren Lacy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They barely believed it either: Bryce Foster still on the board at the 226th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
