Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears robbed the room for Majors. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Majors at No. 126 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cost of the Ersery reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They jumped the gun on Aireontae Ersery, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at Round 2, Pick 9 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 51 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 72 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in the 76th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They went early on Mason Taylor in No. 85, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
