Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Daniels is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: A-.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The Bullock steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Reaching for Van Pran left real value on the table behind him.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 5th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Value with a capital V on Brian Thomas Jr. in the 37th pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in slot 75 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A reach on Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 24; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Circle this one: Calen Bullock at pick No. 122 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 216 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
