Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 72 spots for Justin Eboigbe, and value like that does not grow back.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Bottom line, with Jayden Daniels leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 9 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick50 Rnd2 Blake Corum
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Corum this early at slot 50. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roman Wilson at the 53rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
They talked themselves into Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in Round 4, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Steele Chambers
A wild overpay on Steele Chambers in the 158th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
