Draft Grade — Bears

FutureA+
The Bears found their guy under center in Daniels: D+. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.
The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Bertrand falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Christian Wilkins leading the way.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In slot 9 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 24 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick 47 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
Value with a capital V on Ruke Orhorhoro in the 74th pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at pick No. 79, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
By-the-book stuff, Caelen Carson at the 86th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick111
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 111th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at pick No. 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in No. 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick 143 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the 184th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in Round 7, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
