Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Skattebo: B.

Somebody in the Round 5 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Cam Skattebo, the No. 111 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Turner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 10 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. slid further than he should have, and No. 41 is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick 148 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Value with a capital V on Ricky White III in the 233rd overall pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. at pick No. 240 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
