Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B

Grand theft in No. 200: the Bears steal Moore and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Malachi Moore tumbling to the Bears in the Round 6 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 9th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach Round 2, Pick 8 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in No. 71, and they pounced on premier running back value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at pick No. 142 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Taking Jonah Monheim in the 232nd pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 David Walker
David Walker at slot 246 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
