Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a A for the Bears.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

Pritchett at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will need Castles to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 5 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 11 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
They robbed the room for Johnny Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kalen King
They will replay Kalen King at No. 69 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in the 84th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ladd McConkey
The board fumbled Ladd McConkey all the way to Round 3, Pick 34, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Fair-plus on Will Shipley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Value with a capital V on Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 28, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at pick 137 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the 142nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick No. 226 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
