Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Simon: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cody Simon had no business being available in pick No. 233, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 7 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Deone Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Deone Walker in the 41st pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 62 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to pick No. 65 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They reached into another round for Jake Majors, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick 97. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in No. 103 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the 147th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
No drama and no debate, Seth McLaughlin went about where he belonged in the 193rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Circle this one: Cody Simon at pick 233 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
