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

Call it larceny. Raheim Sanders sat on the board until pick No. 240, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in slot 39, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 41st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in Round 3, Pick 8 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A slide stopped in pick 193, with Luke Lachey worth more than the price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at No. 240. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
