Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
D+

NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a D+, for the Bears. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
They will need Robinson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Fautanu at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 9th pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A straight-up fair deal on Dallas Turner at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick29
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In the 29th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick43
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Troy Fautanu at slot 43 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick No. 75 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 104 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
No drama and no debate, Leonard Taylor III went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 10. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at slot 122 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Bishop at the Round 5 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick146
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 146th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207
Rnd6
Miyan Williams
They read the board right and Miyan Williams was the payoff at the 207th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
