Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Majors: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Majors had no business being available in Round 4, Pick 35, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will need Ivey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

That cornerback 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
A conviction pick on Derrick Harmon at pick 20 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Ivey this early at the 51st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in slot 82 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
You do not let a running back like Dylan Sampson reach No. 85 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
