Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B-.

When a board-topper like Smael Mondon Jr. slides to slot 242, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 10th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick 39 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy little value on Tyler Booker in slot 41, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 8, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 149th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at No. 197 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 242, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
