Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 73: the Bears steal Nwankpa and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Nwankpa, pick No. 73, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emery Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Emery Jones at No. 33, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick46 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
They took Patrick Payton at par in pick 46, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Nwankpa
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Nwankpa in the 73rd pick, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kyle Monangai
They paid sticker price for Kyle Monangai in the 105th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
Good price on J. Michael Sturdivant in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at slot 137 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in slot 169 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Shawn Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Shawn Murphy at the 189th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
