Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears let Fitzgerald fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

Call it larceny. Ryan Fitzgerald sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

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 cornerback.

Reaching for Hudson left real value on the table behind him. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Bottom line, with Princely Umanmielen leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
No drama and no debate, Princely Umanmielen went about where he belonged in pick 27. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 39th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at pick No. 49. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 76th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 117 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
By-the-book stuff, Hayden Conner at No. 147 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
They paid a round early for Kobe Hudson in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
They will replay Ryan Fitzgerald at the 193rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 233rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Monheim at Round 7, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
