NFL: Grading the Bears’ Draft

Grade: A-

Best Pick: OT Ozzy Trapilo, No. 56 Overall

What We Liked: The Bears kept a good balance of need and overall player value for much of the draft. Starting off with Colston Loveland was a welcome surprise, as much of the buzz was around the inferior (sorry) Tyler Warren. Continuing to support Caleb Williams, the next two picks were another weapon in Luther Burden III, who can really cook with the ball in his hands, and added protection from Ozzy Trapilo. Their defensive picks mostly landed as well with Shemar Turner and Zah Frazier being high-floor prospects with decent athleticism and physicality.

Not Sure About: That Ruben Hyppolite pick was an insane miscue. It was sort of like acing a history test and then writing gibberish on one of the essay questions. Does anyone outside of the Maryland fanbase and obsessive pro day watchers like myself even know who Hyppolite is? Surely they could have gotten him later. The Bears don’t even really need a linebacker, which means they have to have really loved this guy. Very odd pick from an otherwise very logical set of selections.
