Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Bears won the night they stopped Bassa from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jeffrey Bassa, the Round 7 slot, roughly 105 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 10th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A slide stopped in the 39th overall pick, with Derrick Harmon worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at No. 45 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 72 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at Round 5, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They let Tyler Cooper come to them and pounced at pick No. 191. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Willie Lampkin in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick 234 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Good price on Seth McLaughlin in the 242nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
