Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Fitzgerald. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Ryan Fitzgerald sat on the board until the 240th overall pick, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. McLaughlin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 10th pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 39th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They read the board right and Dylan Fairchild was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
You do not let a tight end like Mason Taylor reach pick No. 147 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick193 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They went early on Seth McLaughlin in pick 193, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in No. 233, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at slot 240 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
