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

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Cody Simon, the No. 136 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Jonathan Mingo pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 12 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A tidy bit of business in the 39th overall pick, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in pick No. 41, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deone Walker in the 72nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 76 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at Round 5, Pick 12 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 235 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 7, Pick 26 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
