Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Majors fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Majors at the 147th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They read the board right and Tate Ratledge was the payoff at the 39th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They talked themselves into Deone Walker at No. 41, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Seth McLaughlin. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in slot 233 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
The board fumbled Trevor Etienne all the way to pick No. 240, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
