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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Phil Mafah got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at slot 233. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 14th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 7 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A tidy little value on Grey Zabel in pick 41, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in No. 72 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick No. 92 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, O'Donnell Fortune in the 148th pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa is a better player than slot 232 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They will replay Phil Mafah at Round 7, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cody Lindenberg. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
