Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a C- for the Bears. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.
Reaching for Barner left real value on the table behind him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and cornerback still on the board. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Hit on Jayden Daniels and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at No. 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 9th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 27 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in pick No. 51, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 71st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at Round 3, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick84
Rnd3
Blake Corum
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Corum. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They reached a country mile for Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 11, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the 120th pick: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while interior defensive lineman and cornerback keeps waiting.
Pick121
Rnd4
AJ Barner
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went tight end with AJ Barner while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and cornerback sat open.
Pick123
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
They read the board right and Sataoa Laumea was the payoff at pick 123. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
A real head-scratcher, Trevor Keegan in the 143rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at slot 197 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
