Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Daniels: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D-.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in pick 52, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of No. 75. Edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They jumped the gun on Bucky Irving, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 11. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Washington. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A premium they did not need to pay, Javon Foster a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick 123 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A reach for Theo Johnson in No. 143; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
