Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Mullings: B+.

Somebody in the 233rd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Kalel Mullings, the No. 158 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

If Ouzts pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Marist Liufau pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the 39th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarion Hampton in pick 41. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 72nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They read the board right and Hollin Pierce was the payoff at pick No. 148. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
No edge and no loss on Jack Kiser in slot 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
You do not let a running back like Kalel Mullings reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts at No. 240 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
