Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
The Bears let Mondon Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 105 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 22 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Reaching for Walker left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In the 28th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 39 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 9. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 85 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at the 97th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick101 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 101 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in No. 147 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick197 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in the 233rd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
