Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Sampson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dylan Sampson got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at pick 148.

The Lacy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 11 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
They robbed the room for Princely Umanmielen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick42 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
They will replay James Pearce Jr. at the 42nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick 73 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in Round 5, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyren Lacy this early at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Circle this one: Bryce Foster at the 226th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 David Walker
They barely believed it either: David Walker still on the board at slot 244. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
