Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Bears a B+, Higgins and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jay Higgins tumbling to the Bears in Round 6, Pick 18 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 39th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 50 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 56 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Watts at No. 62. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
No drama and no debate, Quinshon Judkins went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 8. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots to take Andrew Mukuba, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick147 Rnd5 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.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Circle this one: Jay Higgins at pick 193 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Taking Trevor Etienne in pick No. 233 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 24 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
