Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent pick 235 on Barryn Sorrell, a name the board had a full 77 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Collins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They let Omarion Hampton come to them and pounced at slot 39. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They jumped the gun on JT Tuimoloau, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Nice patience on Alfred Collins, who had no business lasting to the 72nd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Robinson a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 197 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
A big swing on Kain Medrano at slot 242, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
