Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent Round 2, Pick 9 on Cam Skattebo, a name the board had a full 70 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Warren pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 10 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 39th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cam Skattebo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Skattebo this early at the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 3, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nazir Stackhouse well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Circle this one: R.J. Mickens at the 233rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick240 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick 240 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
