Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Ransom fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Lathan Ransom sat on the board until No. 149, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick No. 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They barely believed it either: Kenneth Grant still on the board at Round 2, Pick 9. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the 72nd pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 149 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
