Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Majors fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Majors had no business being available in slot 149, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 10 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in No. 39, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at pick No. 41 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 8. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the 149th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Fair-plus on Luke Lachey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick235 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A straight-up fair deal on Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 242, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
