Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 147: the Bears steal Skattebo and grade out a D-.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Lachey has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Skattebo to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In No. 10 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge is a better player than the 39th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A reach on Deone Walker in the 56th pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 29. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Kaleb Johnson at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They read the board right and Jake Majors was the payoff at slot 107. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in Round 4, Pick 28 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Hamilton a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in pick 233 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A wild overpay on Luke Lachey in No. 240, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
