Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Bears let Carter fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Barrett Carter, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at Round 5, Pick 31 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Walker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at slot 39 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Deone Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Deone Walker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at Round 3, Pick 8 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
They went early on Kyren Lacy in the 123rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 149 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to No. 197, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach the 235th pick and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick242 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They paid a round early for Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 242, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
