Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Skattebo: A-.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until slot 197, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The cost of the Walker 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.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 25th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They talked themselves into JT Tuimoloau at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They reached into another round for Deone Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They read the board right and Xavier Watts was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 25. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in pick 72, and they pounced on premier running back value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the 147th overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick No. 197 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in No. 233 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
