Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Mondon Jr.: B-.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Smael Mondon Jr. fell into slot 193.

They will need Pierce to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in the 39th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They jumped the gun on Dylan Fairchild, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hollin Pierce this early at pick 72. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick193 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 193rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijhah Badger in pick No. 240, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
