Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears let Hampton fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Omarion Hampton, the No. 18 name on the board, in the Round 2 slot. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

The Scourton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Bottom line, with Nic Scourton leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 39 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in slot 41 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Omarion Hampton in pick 58, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the 72nd overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in No. 81 with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
The board had Malachi Moore higher than Round 3, Pick 25, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
