Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 203 lands the Bears a B-, Hancock and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Jordan Hancock, the No. 145 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 203. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If Griffith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 12 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tate Ratledge at No. 40 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They reached into another round for Kenneth Grant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 74th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at pick No. 150 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 14 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach slot 244 and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
