Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a D-, for the Bears.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for AJ Barner, 50 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

The Trotter Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Adding Budda Baker by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu at pick 20 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In No. 27 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at the 66th pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at pick 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Nice patience on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who had no business lasting to the 75th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in the 86th pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 100 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in Round 4, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaden Hicks. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick110 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They took Javon Solomon at par in pick No. 110, which is nothing to complain about. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at No. 111 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at pick No. 120 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach on Javon Foster in pick 121; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at slot 123 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at the 135th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick139 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in the 139th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They liked Theo Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 143. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick153 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A big swing on AJ Barner at Round 5, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
