Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot regardless, 46 picks early. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Getting Puni where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
They took Brock Bowers at par in Round 1, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 9th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at the 36th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No drama and no debate, Zach Frazier went about where he belonged in pick No. 61. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in pick 66; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Value said wait; Darius Robinson in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at No. 92 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 96th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at Round 4, Pick 14 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 116 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
