Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the C+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Trey Moore at the Round 4 slot is 161 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.
Getting Skattebo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
So much rides on Tyler Booker that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick56
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at the 56th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at pick 72 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at slot 116. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131
Rnd4
Trey Moore
Trey Moore in No. 131 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
A reach on Earnest Greene III in slot 149; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in the 235th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at No. 242, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244
Rnd7
Ben Sauls
Somehow Ben Sauls was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier specialist value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
