Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears found their guy under center in Penix Jr.: A.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. On value alone, Mitchell makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They will replay Taliese Fuaga at Round 2, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 42, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 59 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 75th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in pick 122, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
