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

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nick Nash fell into No. 197.

Reaching for Alexander left real value on the table behind him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Terence Steele deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 41st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 72 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Taking Nick Nash in slot 197 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the 235th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Carson Vinson reach Round 7, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
