Scott DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Luke Lachey, 36 picks ahead of schedule. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Horton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at slot 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35
Rnd2
Graham Barton
They paid a round early for Graham Barton in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick 61 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at the 69th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84
Rnd3
Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at the 84th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They did well to land Cooper Beebe in the 97th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Luke Lachey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Lachey this early at the Round 4 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick107
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tory Horton at pick 107 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
A tidy little value on Donovan Jackson in slot 132, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
No drama and no debate, Jack Nelson went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 6. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
