Draft Grade — Bears

Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 27: the Bears steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Smael Mondon Jr., the 202nd overall pick, roughly 93 picks past where he belonged.

They are betting Igbinosun proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 9th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Charles Grant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Charles Grant well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 40 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in pick 73 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at slot 146, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 202 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 14 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
