Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a D- for the Bears.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Mohamed Kamara at the 40th pick, a reach of 52 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 2nd overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 4 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Zak Zinter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zak Zinter well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40 Rnd2 Mohamed Kamara
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mohamed Kamara this early at pick 40. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at No. 85 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
