Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The phones sank the Bears this weekend: B.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Graham Mertz went at the 235th pick, a good 131 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Skattebo. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at the 39th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at pick 41 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker is a better player than pick No. 53 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the 72nd overall pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at Round 3, Pick 21 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 120 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slipping to Round 4, Pick 20 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at slot 197 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
They reached into another round for Graham Mertz, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 237 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ben Sauls
Somehow Ben Sauls was still sitting there in No. 242, and they pounced on premier specialist value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
