Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 39 spots for Cam Skattebo, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Nolen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
No drama and no debate, Will Campbell went about where he belonged in pick No. 10. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in pick 39, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Colston Loveland at the 41st pick is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They talked themselves into Cam Skattebo at slot 72, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at Round 5, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Hancock at No. 233. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick239 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick 239 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin in pick No. 240 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They took Ty Hamilton at par in No. 247, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
