Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears won the night they stopped Walker from sliding. Grade: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jalon Walker had no business being available in pick No. 71, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In the end it comes back to Josh Simmons, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick 30 they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 33 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in slot 39: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 41st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A big swing on Deone Walker at No. 44, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 71st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ashton Gillotte at Round 3, Pick 16. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in No. 228 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
