Larceny in Round 5, Pick 31 lands the Bears a B-, Bryant and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cobee Bryant slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 169th overall pick. Highway robbery.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 10 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in the 39th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Nothing to complain about; Quinshon Judkins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nick Nash
No edge and no loss on Nick Nash in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They will replay Cobee Bryant at Round 5, Pick 31 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They took Jack Nelson at par in pick 173, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 206 with a little surplus value in Joshua Gray. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dante Trader Jr. at No. 233, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in slot 240 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
