Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a D- for the Bears.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Trice proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Nice patience on Troy Franklin, who had no business lasting to pick No. 43. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Lynn Polk. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They took Mekhi Wingo at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 85 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominick Puni at the 110th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in slot 127 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slipping to the 145th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in No. 146; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick186 Rnd6 Steve Linton
By-the-book stuff, Steve Linton at slot 186 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A quiet steal in the 232nd overall pick: Dwight McGlothern for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Restrepo in pick 234. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
