FutureA+
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a D, for the Bears. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 92 spots for Jayson Jones, and value like that does not grow back. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took James.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 9 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter slid further than he should have, and the 35th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
A reach on Brenden Rice in pick No. 63; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick 68 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69
Rnd3
D.J. James
A clean, defensible pick in slot 69 with a little surplus value in D.J. James. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
The board had Ricky Pearsall higher than Round 3, Pick 20, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A big swing on Malik Washington at pick No. 97, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at the 105th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Drake Nugent
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drake Nugent. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 10 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 120, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146
Rnd5
DJ James
They barely believed it either: DJ James still on the board at the 146th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in No. 154 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188
Rnd6
DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in pick 188 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones at the 204th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225
Rnd7
Rondell Bothroyd
They reached into another round for Rondell Bothroyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 227 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They took Nathaniel Watson at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243
Rnd7
Aaron Lewis
Aaron Lewis at the 243rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244
Rnd7
Mason Fairchild
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason Fairchild this early at pick No. 244. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
