Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in Round 6, Pick 28 lands the Bears a B+, Walker and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jalon Walker, Round 6, Pick 28, roughly 70 picks past where he belonged.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 11th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to No. 42 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Nic Scourton
The board had Nic Scourton higher than slot 73, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Parker Brailsford at the 148th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in pick 203 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
They barely believed it either: Xavier Nwankpa still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick244 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick No. 244 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
