Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Bears bet the future on Daniels. The board says C+.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They are betting Liufau proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick13 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 13 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 44th overall 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.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the 75th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A premium they did not need to pay, Marist Liufau a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 110 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 22 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at No. 146, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
