Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
Daniels is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B+.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

Landing Benson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 3rd pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 23 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Thomas Jr. at the 40th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 17, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at slot 58 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They will replay Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Value with a capital V on Tykee Smith in No. 110, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 127th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaheim Bell. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at No. 146 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing J. Michael Sturdivant in pick 182. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 11. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Somehow Fentrell Cypress II was still sitting there in slot 232, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
