Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Kiser. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jack Kiser tumbling to the Bears in Round 7, Pick 30 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Mykel Williams a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tate Ratledge in pick No. 37. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
You do not let a running back like Kaleb Johnson reach Round 3, Pick 7 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at the 142nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick200 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Seth McLaughlin. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 232nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in slot 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
