Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D weekend for the Bears.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Johnny Wilson in the 72nd overall pick, a good 55 spots before the room expected him.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Benson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 10 they get a load in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Payton Wilson in pick 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They reached into another round for Johnny Wilson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson is a better player than the 111th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick143 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A premium they did not need to pay, AJ Barner a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
