Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears let Mondon Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Smael Mondon Jr. fell into pick 189.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jalen Tolbert pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 14 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 36th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in slot 45 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in Round 3, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 146 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 168th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
The board fumbled Nicholas Singleton all the way to pick No. 171, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the 189th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
