Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a 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. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Thomas Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The cost of the Bell reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 5 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 9 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 69 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They talked themselves into Zak Zinter at pick No. 75, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 4, Pick 11 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in the 123rd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cole Bishop in the 143rd pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
