Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

ValueC

FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B+. The Bears did not so much draft Graham Mertz as overpay for him, 108 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Noel. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In pick No. 19 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A big swing on Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 39, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jackson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
No edge and no loss on Quinshon Judkins in slot 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach Round 4, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 123rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Value said wait; Nazir Stackhouse in pick 149 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in the 160th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick235
Rnd7
Clay Webb
They paid a round early for Clay Webb in No. 235, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz in slot 242 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
