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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 242 is 86 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

That Burke pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 10 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Johnson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Good price on Deone Walker in the 72nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
You do not let a cornerback like Denzel Burke reach Round 5, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
They will replay Earnest Greene III at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 235 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in No. 242 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
