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

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D+.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The cost of the Bell reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 9 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in slot 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 44th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A tidy bit of business in No. 75, where Caelen Carson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 103rd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ray Davis
No edge and no loss on Ray Davis in pick No. 110; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in slot 122 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in Round 5, Pick 10 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
