FutureA-
The Bears bet the future on Daniels. The board says B-. The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The Newton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Johnson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick 4 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick10
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 10th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in slot 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 19 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59
Rnd2
Blake Corum
They paid up for Blake Corum at pick No. 59 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at No. 72 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick75
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Circle this one: Chris Braswell at the 75th pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in the 84th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 86 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
They paid sticker price for Leonard Taylor III in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in pick 112 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Malik Washington
No edge and no loss on Malik Washington in No. 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Theo Johnson in the 121st pick, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at Round 4, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
Good price on Ainias Smith in slot 124, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at Round 5, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick187
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They jumped the gun on AJ Barner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Michael Barrett worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in No. 238 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
