Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Bears let Mondon Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 110 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 240. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th overall pick they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A quiet steal in No. 39: Kenneth Grant for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in slot 51, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 72 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 147th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jonah Monheim in pick No. 189, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at No. 193. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the 233rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach slot 240 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
