Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA+
The Bears bet the future on Daniels. The board says B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bears shredded theirs for Jordan Jefferson. He came off 62 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They banked enough surplus on Brooks to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while linebacker went begging.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 14 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 21st overall pick they get a long-term answer under center, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
No edge and no loss on Jordan Morgan in pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A slide stopped in slot 36, with Nate Wiggins worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick55 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 23: Roman Wilson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
They barely believed it either: Jonathon Brooks still on the board at Round 3, Pick 11. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of No. 78. Linebacker needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in slot 122 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
