Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Fred Davis, taking him 151 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Mondon Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. 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.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 9th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Value with a capital V on Landon Jackson in slot 41, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 73 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to No. 146, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Miles Frazier in slot 227. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fred Davis
They reached into another round for Fred Davis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
