Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Monheim fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jonah Monheim, slot 233, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Walker lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th pick they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at slot 39, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 42 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach the 72nd overall pick and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 7. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
They paid up for Jaeden Roberts at pick No. 147 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Somehow Willie Lampkin was still sitting there in No. 193, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Monheim at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in pick 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
