Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Monangai should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Kyle Monangai slide 36 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Milum proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 10 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in No. 41 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the 72nd pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Vernon Broughton at pick 149. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Nothing to complain about; KeAndre Lambert-Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in Round 7, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 242 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
