Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Mondon Jr.: B-.

Call it larceny. Smael Mondon Jr. sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Majors has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 9th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They liked Josh Conerly Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 35. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jake Majors
They reached a country mile for Jake Majors at No. 42, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at slot 73. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick111 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 111th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They will replay Kalel Mullings at Round 5, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to the 226th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 30, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
