Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Larceny in the 193rd pick lands the Bears a A-, Fitzgerald and all.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ryan Fitzgerald fell into slot 193.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In No. 25 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 72nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 89th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to Round 4, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 147 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 165 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at slot 193 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at No. 233 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
