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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Lander Barton tumbling to the Bears in slot 227 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Burks reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 10th pick they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
The board had cheaper options than Dylan Fairchild at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 41st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in No. 72 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 197 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Lander Barton
You do not let a linebacker like Lander Barton reach slot 227 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Deion Burks
They reached a country mile for Deion Burks at pick No. 233, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They paid sticker price for Shilo Sanders in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
