Draft Grade — Bears

The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Golday: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jake Golday, the No. 58 name on the board, stolen at the Round 3 slot.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. If Washington Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Zion Young
A straight-up fair deal on Zion Young at No. 38, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick No. 60 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in Round 3, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A reach for Mike Washington Jr. in the 106th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They paid sticker price for Aamil Wagner in pick 163, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. at the 196th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
The board had cheaper options than De'Zhaun Stribling at slot 239, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
