Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D+ weekend for the Bears.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Every board in the league had Laube lower, and that gap is the story.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Washington at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 5th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 19 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry slipping to pick 37 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the 75th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
By-the-book stuff, Fabien Lovett at Round 5, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
The board had cheaper options than Mason McCormick at slot 151, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A conviction pick on Walter Rouse at No. 154 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
