Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In No. 22 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mykel Williams at Round 2, Pick 7. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They paid sticker price for Kaleb Johnson in the 41st pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 72nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in pick 147, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at pick No. 168 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
They liked Ja'Corey Brooks enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 193. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
Taking Carson Schwesinger in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
