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

When a board-topper like Jalon Walker slides to Round 5, Pick 12, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Eric Kendricks leading the way.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Armand Membou
A clean, defensible pick in No. 39 with a little surplus value in Armand Membou. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in Round 2, Pick 12, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 72 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the 116th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the 149th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at slot 235 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Sai'vion Jones
They robbed the room for Sai'vion Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
