Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Fitzgerald: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ryan Fitzgerald at slot 233 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The cost of the Ersery reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th pick they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A premium they did not need to pay, Aireontae Ersery a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 41 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 89th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 147 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in Round 7, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
