Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Smael Mondon Jr. slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at pick No. 202. Highway robbery. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

If Igbinosun pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Hit on Grey Zabel and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In No. 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They talked themselves into Tyleik Williams at slot 36, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in pick No. 40, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 73rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 202, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to the 228th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in Round 7, Pick 30, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
