Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B-.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 5 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in slot 69 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A reach for Jordan Travis in No. 128; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 142nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
The board had Jaylin Simpson higher than Round 6, Pick 8, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
A wild overpay on Miyan Williams in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
