Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
The Bears let Stutsman fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Danny Stutsman tumbling to the Bears in the 235th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The Majors pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In slot 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at Round 2, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at pick No. 72 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They paid up for Jake Majors at No. 91 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 127th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in the 149th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
They jumped the gun on Kobe Hudson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in pick No. 235, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at No. 242 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
They robbed the room for Damien Martinez here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
