Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Bears answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. Gillotte has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 5 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 6th overall pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in the 38th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at pick No. 47 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 69; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick105 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 128 on James Williams with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
A real head-scratcher, Ashton Gillotte in Round 5, Pick 6 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 183 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
They did well to land Kaimon Rucker in the 226th pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
