Riley Leonard to IND at 189, 5 to go.

IND coming up with back to back picks, already selected Giddens at RB. So I doubt they go there again.

6 to go, TEN goes Mullings at RB.

Reed off the board at 187, 7 left until Bears pick, they might be able to get a RB or S. RB: Martinez, Smith S: Mickens, Crawford DT: Toia IOL: McLaughlin, Huber, Majors Edge: Ivey

Look at PIT's picks, they took Harmon, Johnson, and Sawyer, with only 3 picks in the first 4 rounds. I guarantee you all 3 will be contributors on Day 1 for the Steelers. The Bears had 4 picks before PIT had 2.

9 to go, Neal and Pegues off the board. Smith met with the Bears: RB: Martinez, Smith S: Mickens, Reed, Crawford DT: Toia IOL: McLaughlin, Huber, Majors Edge: Ivey

I mean the team won 5 games last year. Yeah, Johnson is a huge upgrade at HC and they had a very good free agency. It just feels like they had a chance to really separate themselves with those first 4 picks (all in the top 65) but took guys that would've been there at the lower picks (besides Burden). The only good thing is the rest of the division didn't do anything noteworthy in the draft. Golden is the only player of note from all the other divisional teams.

RB and S were weaknesses coming in and they did nothing to address those. Drafting Kiran in the 3rd last year seems like a waste now with Trapilo coming in as a 2nd rounder. 2nd rounders have to be starters. This draft just feels off, like they went with Loveland, and then everything after was off on timing. Outside of Burden, every other pick seemed early or like a reach. I could be wrong, but right now it feels hollow.

OK, they can redeem themselves in the 6th, there are still solid guys who can contribute on the board. I am still hoping for an RB or S. 13 picks to go. RB: Neal, Martinez, Smith S: Mickens, Reed, Crawford DT: Pegues, Toia IOL: McLaughlin, Huber, Majors Edge: Ivey

So is Frazier beating out Smith or Blackwell? The team must think he can, otherwise it is a wasted pick. Compare that to a Safety taking reps from Owens (easy) or a RB getting snaps over Roschon (possible).

Rarely will any of these Day 3 picks amount to anything, so you go with a special trait and hope the others can come around. Still would've liked an RB to add to the room.

Honest question here. It just seems like he is getting the smartest guy in the room syndrome, and that effectively killed Pace after the Trubisky and Shaheen picks. It felt like every pick other than Burden was overdrafted, while other teams got great value. Coming into the draft with 3 picks in the top 41, I am just not feeling it this year. I hope I am wrong. Then you add the trades with BUF that lost value and the only saving grace is getting a 4th next year from LAR. Anyone else feeling like this? 1st and 2nd rounders have to be starters. The Bears had 4 of those picks and got a TE2, WR3, OT3, and DT4, no starters unless Trapilo somehow beats out Braxton.

Practice Squad fodder until he is 30. He will be competing for a roster spot, has speed, but will be 25 this season.

At this point, I don't know if it even matters. Older prospect who will be 25 in October, he is a year younger than Jaylon Johnson.

All of these guys are available for Poles, don't overthink this. 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S

2 to go, looking good. 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S Bears please pick one of these guys. Poles, don't become Pace and think you are the smartest guy in the room.

3 picks to go, all 6 of these guys still on the board. If they want a RB or S, they can get one here. 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S

4 picks to go, the highest available players: 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S

5 picks to go, the highest available players: 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S

7 to go. Still available: Martinez, Neal, and Smith at RB Mickens and Reed at S Frazier and Huber at OG Pegues at DT

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.
