14 picks to go. Still available: Martinez, Neal, and Smith at RB Mickens and Reed at S Frazier and Huber at OG Pegues at DT I would be happy with any of these 8 guys this late in the 5th.

The Bears had traded their own 2026 4th away for Thuney, so the Rams trade gets a 4th back.

Exactly, they basically got a 6th for free, which evens them up with the losses of the BUF trades.

Best available: MBow, G Pegues, DT Reed, S Croskey-Merritt, RB Paul, LB

So now they have 169 from BUF coming up, got a 6th back at 195, and still have 233 in the 7th. The 4th in 2026 is huge, middle of the round is pick 116-118 depending on 3rd round comp picks, so that trade made up for the loss in value with the BUF trades.

Now that is what I am talking about, they gave up Pick 148, and got 195 AND a 2026 4th rounder.

Yeah, they must be happy at RB and Safety, which is surprising considering the lack of depth at both positions.

Sure, most of these guys picked after the 3rd will amount to nothing but rarely do you see a team trade down, lose draft capital in the process, then draft a guy they could've gotten later, which dilutes the draft capital even more. A 5'`11" LB in coverage will be comical.

There is no way this guy is not available in the 7th. So many more accomplished players at need positions on the board and they go with this guy?

He was a UDFA, I have not seen a mock have him in any round. Why would they use a 4th round pick on him when they have a 5th and a 7th left. I am not liking this one at all.

Ruben Hyppolite II, LB at 132. Who? I am so confused, this guy was a UDFA, why is Poles selecting him in the 4th round?

Who?

Swinson, Mbow, Farmer or Martinez?

Sampson gone to CLE at 126. 5 picks to go: RB - Neal, Giddens, Martinez IOL - Mbow (74), Frazier DT - Farmer (76), Pegues Edge - Swinson (75), Ingram-Dawkins LB - Paul CB - Riley (74), Frazier S - Reed

Yeah, a few of them should be there if they want one.

Word out of interviews was he was one of the worst, if not the worst they have ever witnessed, all the while he was dictating what the clubs would do for him. Basically a double negative for a guy that was pampered by his dad for his entire college career.

Yeah, Skattebo or Tuten probably. Now we have to pray that Swinson or Sampson are still there at 132, but unlikely.

Jack Sawyer to the Steelers at 123.

Ransom, Safety goes at 122. Reed is last Safety with a chance to play. Sampson and Swinson still available.

10 to go. Last two picks were Helm, TE, and Walker, Edge.

12 picks left, still a few solid guys left: RB - Sampson (75), Neal, Giddens, Martinez IOL - Mbow (74), Frazier DT - Farmer (76), Pegues Edge - Swinson (75), Sawyer, Ingram-Dawkins LB - Paul CB - Riley (74), Frazier S - Reed, Ransom

It will suck if they lose out on Sampson and Swinson just to add a late 5th.

Nope, it was straight up 109 for 132 and 169. The Bills had 4x picks between 169 and 177, so Poles got fleeced here. Poles should've gotten at least 206 (late 6th) too. Too much of a drop-off after 120.

JJ Chart 109 = 76pts 132 = 40pts 169 = 23.8 pts (63.8 total) Equivalent to a mid-6th rounder in value/ Using the Rich Hill chart, the Bears lost a late 6th early 7th rounder of value.

I don't like that trade, no matter what trade chart you use, the Bears lost a 6th rounder worth of capital to move back 23 spots in the 4th to pick up a super late 5th.
