The Bears won the night they stopped Mondon Jr. from sliding. Grade: B+. Somebody in No. 168 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 99 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
The cost of the Stackhouse reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Osa Odighizuwa deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
A reach on Mykel Williams in No. 17; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A clean, defensible pick in pick 41 with a little surplus value in Tyler Booker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 49 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 16 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the 147th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jared Wilson a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193
Rnd6
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in No. 193 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 233rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick240
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
They will replay Terrance Ferguson at Round 7, Pick 24 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
