Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
Larceny in pick 51 lands the Bears a B+, Hampton and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Omarion Hampton slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 51st pick. Highway robbery.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 20 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 39th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at slot 51 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at No. 72, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 85th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board had Jake Majors higher than Round 4, Pick 6, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
