Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kamal Hadden tumbling to the Bears in slot 226 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Bears indulged a want in Bishop while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Reiman reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 7 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 22 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 38 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They liked Calen Bullock enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 71. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A clean, defensible pick in No. 75 with a little surplus value in Sedrick Van Pran. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick106 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 106th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Value said wait; Ainias Smith in the 122nd overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 5, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at No. 161 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at pick No. 182 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in the 226th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They paid a round early for LaDarius Henderson in pick 242, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
