Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears robbed the room for Judkins. Final grade: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Quinshon Judkins, No. 149, roughly 79 picks past where he belonged. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first. Reaching for Tuimoloau left real value on the table behind him.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, JT Tuimoloau and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in slot 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A premium they did not need to pay, Deone Walker a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in No. 72 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at Round 3, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach the 127th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malachi Moore adds a safety and leaves cornerback, linebacker and other spots untouched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at slot 197 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slipping to Round 6, Pick 31 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Sam Brown
They jumped the gun on Sam Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
Good price on DJ Campbell in pick No. 235, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
