Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Jackson: A-.

When a board-topper like Donovan Jackson slides to the 123rd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They are betting Mukuba proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Bottom line, with Walter Nolen leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Walker in the 39th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at the 41st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A conviction pick on Andrew Mukuba at No. 72 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 123 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jordan James
They robbed the room for Jordan James here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kobe King
They will replay Kobe King at slot 160 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
The board had Cam Jackson higher than the Round 7 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
They took Brandon Adams at par in pick 242, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
