Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the 233rd pick on Reuben Fatheree II, a name most had 82 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Carter. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 10 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in No. 41, and they pounced on premier running back value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in Round 4, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 187 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Makari Paige
A real head-scratcher, Makari Paige in pick 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick233 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
They reached a country mile for Reuben Fatheree II at the 233rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
