Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a B- weekend for the Bears.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.

They banked enough surplus on Suamataia to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in the 9th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the 43rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Worthy in the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at pick 68 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at slot 79 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They will replay Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 90 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
No drama and no debate, Mekhi Wingo went about where he belonged in No. 103. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 122. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kalen King
No edge and no loss on Kalen King in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
