The Bears left with their quarterback, and a A- to match. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Getting Prather where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
If Murphy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan slipping to No. 37 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
D.J. James
A tidy bit of business in slot 75, where D.J. James graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A conviction pick on Gabriel Murphy at the 77th pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in pick No. 100, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in the 110th overall pick leaves running back and linebacker for later.
Pick127
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 127 with a little surplus value in Ainias Smith. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 142nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick146
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
They read the board right and Isaiah Adams was the payoff at the 146th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183
Rnd6
Andru Phillips
A tidy little value on Andru Phillips in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They let Zion Tupuola-Fetui come to them and pounced at pick 186. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190
Rnd6
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 190 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at Round 7, Pick 12 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
