Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
Daniels is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a D.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They will need Steele to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 4th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at No. 42, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Fair-plus on Kamren Kinchens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in slot 104 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson slipping to the 132nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick No. 141 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Steve Linton
By-the-book stuff, Steve Linton at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at the 225th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
