Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Francisco Mauigoa, taking him 45 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Horton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board had Jalon Walker higher than pick No. 39, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyleik Williams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at slot 72, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at No. 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Value with a capital V on Jonas Sanker in pick 233, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They reached a country mile for Francisco Mauigoa at the 240th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
