Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Grand theft in the 188th overall pick: the Bears steal Mustapha and grade out a D+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Mustapha pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 7th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at Round 2, Pick 6 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks slipping to No. 75 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Taking Christian Mahogany in slot 110 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They let Khyree Jackson come to them and pounced at No. 122. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 133rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
By-the-book stuff, Beaux Limmer at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in Round 6, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick No. 225 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
