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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jonah Monheim, Round 7, Pick 30, roughly 42 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Campbell reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a building block for the line, reach and all.
Pick39 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
They barely believed it either: James Pearce Jr. still on the board at pick No. 39. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board had Tate Ratledge higher than slot 42, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 DJ Campbell
The board fumbled DJ Campbell all the way to No. 73, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 LT Overton
LT Overton at the 203rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Hunter Wohler in pick 226. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 244th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
