Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Franklin pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick12 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 12th pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Steal is underselling it; Olumuyiwa Fashanu at No. 34 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at pick No. 38 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Troy Franklin
Taking Troy Franklin in slot 75 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 103rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Leonard Taylor III for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
