Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Umanmielen. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Princely Umanmielen slide 26 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Alexander to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
No edge and no loss on Jack Sawyer in the 33rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen at slot 52 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jonah Monheim
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonah Monheim. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A conviction pick on Tyler Baron at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
A big swing on Bear Alexander at the 116th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at No. 148 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jonathan Mendoza
By-the-book stuff, Jonathan Mendoza at pick No. 180 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in slot 182 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
