Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears. There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Bears never got to the one that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
Every board in the league had Mbow lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 10 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
No edge and no loss on Xavier Watts in the 41st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
