Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Bassa: B-.

Somebody in pick 197 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 130 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If Colby pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 10th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in No. 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in slot 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
You do not let an offensive lineman like Marcus Mbow reach pick No. 72 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They reached a country mile for Connor Colby at pick 149, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They barely believed it either: Woody Marks still on the board at Round 7, Pick 17. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the 242nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
