Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Bears won the night they stopped Majors from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jake Majors, the 142nd overall pick, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Walker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the 17th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Johnson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A conviction pick on JT Tuimoloau at No. 44 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick48 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Deone Walker this early at pick 48. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 14 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 142 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A wild overpay on Connor Colby in the 148th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They robbed the room for Joshua Gray here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 7, Pick 18 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
No edge and no loss on Luke Lachey in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached a country mile for Micah Morris at the 247th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
