Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB+
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Smael Mondon Jr., Round 6, Pick 18, roughly 91 picks past where he belonged.

If McLaughlin pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick 12 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in pick No. 39. The roster fit checks out.
Pick55 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They liked Deone Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in the 55th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach No. 72 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jake Majors in slot 97. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Devin Neal
They robbed the room for Devin Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They talked themselves into Ollie Gordon II at Round 5, Pick 1, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A big swing on Seth McLaughlin at Round 6, Pick 4, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 193, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A real head-scratcher, Luke Lachey in No. 233 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
