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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jeffrey Bassa, the 148th pick, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Ezeiruaku lower, and that gap is the story.

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
Pick10 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 10 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid a round early for Donovan Ezeiruaku in No. 41, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in Round 3, Pick 8 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 148th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Taking R.J. Mickens in slot 233 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick240 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy little value on Isaac TeSlaa in the 240th pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
