Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in the 193rd pick: the Bears steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a D.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 102 name on the board, in pick 193. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The cost of the Lachey reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 10 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in No. 39, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They paid sticker price for JT Tuimoloau in pick 56, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 61st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 72nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Value with a capital V on Jake Majors in slot 107, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 18 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Taking Seth McLaughlin in Round 7, Pick 17 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 240 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
