Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Bears let Paul Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, sitting there at the 233rd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Kight has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A quiet steal in slot 33: T.J. Sanders for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in No. 55 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 72 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 3, Pick 22 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick157 Rnd5 Amari Kight
Amari Kight in the 157th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock is a better player than pick No. 193 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick233 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at the 233rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Steven Parker
Value said wait; Steven Parker in pick 240 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at pick No. 253 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
