Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: A-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.

If All pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Bywater pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The veteran additions, T.J. Watt chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 7 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 23rd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Troy Franklin in the 40th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick55 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at No. 55 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Good price on Mekhi Wingo in pick 68, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Nothing to complain about; Tory Horton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the 141st overall pick with a little surplus value in Donovan Jackson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams is a better player than pick 182 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Erick All
Value said wait; Erick All in the 186th pick says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton in pick No. 202 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ben Bywater
They barely believed it either: Ben Bywater still on the board at slot 229. The roster fit checks out.
