Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Castro from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Sebastian Castro sat on the board until the Round 5 slot, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in the 41st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than pick No. 49 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Kaleb Johnson at the 72nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Majors at Round 3, Pick 22, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick 123 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sebastian Castro in slot 147, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick191 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Taking Willie Lampkin in No. 191 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 193rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in No. 208 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A slide stopped in pick No. 233, with Cody Lindenberg worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at pick 240. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
