Daniels is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a A-. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will answer for taking safety early while running back and linebacker went begging. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Braswell.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick17
Rnd1
JC Latham
In slot 17 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
A clean, defensible pick in the 35th overall pick with a little surplus value in Adonai Mitchell. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40
Rnd2
Calen Bullock
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Calen Bullock. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A conviction pick on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Circle this one: Chris Braswell at the 67th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jermaine Burton in No. 69. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72
Rnd3
McKinnley Jackson
The board had cheaper options than McKinnley Jackson at slot 72, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at pick No. 73, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102
Rnd4
Tyleik Williams
They read the board right and Tyleik Williams was the payoff at No. 102. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 105th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128
Rnd4
James Williams
A surprising call. With running back and linebacker still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 28 on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick133
Rnd4
Malik Mustapha
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Running back and linebacker needed the pick; a safety in Malik Mustapha did not.
