Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Rakestraw Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 8th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 14th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Value with a capital V on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick 45, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in slot 65, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Good price on Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 74, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
No drama and no debate, Ja'Lynn Polk went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 11. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cedric Gray in pick No. 122. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in pick No. 142 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
