Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Higgins: B.

When a board-topper like Jay Higgins slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

They will need Lachey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in pick 44, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A conviction pick on JT Tuimoloau at the 49th pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at slot 56 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in Round 2, Pick 29, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at pick No. 72 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 107 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 117th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Cam Skattebo worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
A reach on Jaeden Roberts in Round 5, Pick 10; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Value said wait; Luke Lachey in No. 193 says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
