Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Restrepo: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Xavier Restrepo, the No. 15 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at slot 36 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 9, and they pounced on premier running back value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at the 73rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at No. 146 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 203 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Taking Alfred Collins in the 228th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
They will replay Xavier Restrepo at pick No. 244 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
