Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Perkins Jr. should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Harold Perkins Jr., slot 202, roughly 74 picks past where he belonged.

If Thornton Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Fair-plus on Tate Ratledge, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at slot 40. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Warren at the 53rd overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in pick 88 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 4, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 146th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 202 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 228 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Nwankpa at the 244th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
