Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Majors should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jake Majors fell into the 147th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to slot 41 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the 72nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 147 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Taking Raheim Sanders in pick No. 193 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
