Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the Round 7 slot on Richard Jibunor, a name most had 108 spots down the list.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They banked enough surplus on Walker to cover a lot of smaller sins.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Adding Aidan Hutchinson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In the 30th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick48
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 48 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Jenkins at pick 60. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at slot 91 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 104th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132
Rnd4
Luke Lachey
A reach on Luke Lachey in slot 132; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jalen McMillan
Steal is underselling it; Jalen McMillan at No. 141 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Devontez Walker
You do not let a wide receiver like Devontez Walker reach pick 182 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at pick No. 225 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
