Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueF NeedD+ TradesB- FutureB-
Back to the drawing board for the Bears: D-.

The Alex Mastromanno pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 175 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Put together, it is a D-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Burnip pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. Getting Borregales where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 James Burnip
Of all the spots to shop, they chose specialist. James Burnip in pick No. 10 leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick39 Rnd2 Luke Elzinga
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Luke Elzinga at specialist with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick41 Rnd2 Alex Mastromanno
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Alex Mastromanno, a specialist that was not the priority.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jeremy Crawshaw
A surprising call. With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the 72nd pick on Jeremy Crawshaw, a specialist they were not short of.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger at Round 5, Pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
Taking Andres Borregales in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick235 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gino Garcia in Round 7, Pick 17, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
They reached into another round for Tyler Loop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
