Draft Grade — Bears

FutureC-
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a B 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.
Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 4 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick36
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zach Frazier this early at the 36th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45
Rnd2
DJ James
They paid up for DJ James at pick No. 45 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A wild overpay on Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick 78 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
