Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Barton: B+.

Somebody in pick 193 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Lander Barton, the No. 127 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They will need Skattebo to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 10th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 7, with Tate Ratledge worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick No. 49 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A wild overpay on Cam Skattebo in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at No. 147. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the 193rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
Somehow DJ Campbell was still sitting there in slot 233, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at pick 240 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
