Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Whittington: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan Whittington at slot 238 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. It is not that Lassiter is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.

The Mills pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kalen King
Kalen King at pick 18 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kamari Lassiter at defensive back with interior defensive lineman and quarterback open.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the 41st overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick50 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They liked Sedrick Van Pran enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 50. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen at Round 2, Pick 27 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
They took Adonai Mitchell at par in pick No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
They paid up for Adisa Isaac at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 132nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick 141 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
Good price on Jo'Quavious Marks in No. 155, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at Round 6, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They read the board right and Jaylan Ford was the payoff at slot 204. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Storm Duck
The board had cheaper options than Storm Duck at pick No. 225, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
A big swing on Rylie Mills at the 237th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at the 238th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
