Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bears.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Hayden Conner, 30 picks early at Round 7, Pick 24.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Grant. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell in No. 10 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 39th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at Round 2, Pick 9 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They liked Ozzy Trapilo enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They did well to land Hollin Pierce in the 148th pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at slot 233 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
