Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in No. 197 lands the Bears a B+, King and all.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kobe King fell into the Round 6 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They are betting Gregory proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher went begging.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 14 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 7. The roster fit checks out.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on TreVeyon Henderson at pick 55, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 72nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A slide stopped in the 94th pick, with Mason Taylor worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Kevin Winston Jr., a safety they were not short of.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Phillips at pick No. 149 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in No. 159 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Simeon Barrow Jr. at pick No. 181 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kobe King
Kobe King in the 197th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
The board fumbled Kobe Hudson all the way to No. 235, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in pick 242 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
A big swing on Eric Gregory at slot 257, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
