Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Thor Griffith pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 41 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That Skattebo pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 10 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in Round 2, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in No. 49 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the 76th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at pick 147 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A tidy little value on Jordan Hancock in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 244th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
