Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 72 lands the Bears a B, Watts and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Xavier Watts slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 72nd overall pick. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a three-down runner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at slot 72 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
