Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 155 lands the Bears a C+, Sampson and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dylan Sampson, the No. 53 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 17. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In No. 18 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50 Rnd2 Clay Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clay Webb. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 David Walker
They reached into another round for David Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
They barely believed it either: Dylan Sampson still on the board at Round 5, Pick 17. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than the 204th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at pick No. 241. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
