Draft Grade — Bears

Daniels is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a D-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Braiden McGregor at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 75 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
On value alone, Thomas Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 1 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 9th overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
The board fumbled Amarius Mims all the way to the 43rd pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 3, Pick 10 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick No. 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88
Rnd3
Blake Corum
A quiet steal in slot 88: Blake Corum for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 111 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick No. 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at No. 124 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 26 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128
Rnd4
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at slot 128 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
AJ Barner
A real head-scratcher, AJ Barner in the 143rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick236
Rnd7
BJ Mayes
Nothing to complain about; BJ Mayes went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
