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

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Smael Mondon Jr. fell into slot 233.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 12 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to the 39th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at the 55th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They did well to land Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 8, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at No. 147 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
They took Howard Cross III at par in pick No. 148, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to the 173rd pick, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 193 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Willie Lampkin
They barely believed it either: Willie Lampkin still on the board at pick 218. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at pick No. 240 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
