Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The Bears spent real capital to be 134 picks early on Trey Knox, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Wright falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 1 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
A conviction pick on Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 9 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Nice patience on Jaylen Wright, who had no business lasting to pick 75. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They talked themselves into Jaheim Bell at Round 4, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trey Knox
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Knox well ahead of where he belonged. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
