Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears let Taylor fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Mason Taylor got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 128. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They are betting Noel proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick 17 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A premium they did not need to pay, Aireontae Ersery a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They went early on Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick53 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They paid sticker price for TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 21, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach pick No. 72 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 81st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in No. 84, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 118th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to Round 4, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
