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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jeffrey Bassa tumbling to the Bears in pick No. 244 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The cost of the Foster reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Good price on Tate Ratledge in No. 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 40th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Value said wait; Jake Majors in the 73rd overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at pick No. 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
A slide stopped in slot 228, with Jonah Monheim worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at pick 244 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
