Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a D- to match.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 9 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 75 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 93rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tykee Smith in the Round 4 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick 132 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 James Williams
They robbed the room for James Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick167 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Austin Booker at No. 167. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A clean, defensible pick in No. 206 with a little surplus value in Braiden McGregor. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
