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

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in slot 240, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 12 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
A premium they did not need to pay, Dylan Fairchild a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in pick No. 72, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 76th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They read the board right and Pat Bryant was the payoff at the 148th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 168 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 170th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick186 Rnd6 CJ West
They paid up for CJ West at No. 186 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They did well to land Jack Kiser in pick 193, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at Round 7, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 248 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
