Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Jordan Hall at the 248th overall pick, roughly 28 spots before his name belonged.

Getting Nwankpa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 LT Overton
In No. 26 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
They paid sticker price for Joshua Josephs in pick 48, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
They took Sonny Styles at par in the 80th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Samuel Omosigho
Samuel Omosigho at Round 4, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Aaron Anderson at slot 155. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 194 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ethan Onianwa
Ethan Onianwa at pick 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Hall in Round 7, Pick 32, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
