Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Monheim: B-.

Call it larceny. Jonah Monheim sat on the board until Round 6, Pick 22, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Dellinger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 10 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in the 39th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They liked JT Tuimoloau enough to skip the value, taking him in the 41st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
The board had Darius Alexander higher than the Round 5 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They barely believed it either: Jonah Monheim still on the board at pick 197. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 235 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 242, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
