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

You build a draft on nights like this. Jordan James had no business being available in slot 147, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If Lachey pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 10 they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 39th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at No. 55 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nothing to complain about; Deone Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 97th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach Round 5, Pick 1 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James at pick 147 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at No. 190 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in slot 197, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the Round 6 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A wild overpay on Luke Lachey in pick 233, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick244 Rnd7 Aydan White
A big swing on Aydan White at the 244th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
