Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Mukuba: B-.

When a board-topper like Andrew Mukuba slides to Round 6, Pick 28, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Campbell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
A conviction pick on Will Campbell at Round 1, Pick 12 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Landon Jackson at the 40th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick 43 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in pick No. 74 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at the 150th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at No. 203 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at slot 244 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
