Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 72: the Bears steal Zabel and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Grey Zabel slide 38 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Crawford reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at No. 39 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at the 72nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 85 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 148th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in pick 191 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 CJ West
Nice patience on CJ West, who had no business lasting to pick No. 197. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at slot 233 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A reach on Ty Hamilton in pick 240; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
