Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Sampson: B.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Dylan Sampson, the No. 52 name on the board, sitting there at pick 173 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 19 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
They paid a round early for Josh Simmons in the 22nd pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick No. 80 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They robbed the room for Tate Ratledge here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Parker Brailsford in Round 5, Pick 16, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at slot 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A quiet steal in the 191st overall pick: Xavier Nwankpa for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 204 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 14, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tim Smith
A real head-scratcher, Tim Smith in slot 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
