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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kalel Mullings, No. 226, roughly 111 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 9th pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at pick No. 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at No. 73 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at pick 147 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in Round 6, Pick 28 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
They robbed the room for Kalel Mullings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
They will replay Brant Kuithe at the 244th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
