Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Daniels is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B+.

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

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Stackhouse value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
No drama and no debate, Jayden Daniels went about where he belonged in pick No. 4. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 5th pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They liked Jordan Morgan enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 4. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick37 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 37 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 69; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at the 100th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Nazir Stackhouse graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ainias Smith. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
