Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureA
Daniels is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Nehemiah Pritchett, the No. 143 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 207.

The Bortolini reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Sam Cosmi deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 2nd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 39 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie slid further than he should have, and pick 75 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at Round 4, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick121 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in the 121st overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 207th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
