Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Daniels. The board says B.

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They will need Powers-Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 27 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
They did well to land Quinyon Mitchell in the 35th pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 43 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chris Braswell in Round 3, Pick 2. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They read the board right and Javon Bullard was the payoff at slot 74. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A clean, defensible pick in the 75th overall pick with a little surplus value in Ruke Orhorhoro. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
By-the-book stuff, Nelson Ceaser at pick No. 110 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 122nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
