Overall

FutureA+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
On value alone, Burke makes the weekend a net positive.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In slot 7 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 32nd pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48
Rnd2
Brandon Dorlus
A reach on Brandon Dorlus in the 48th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 3, Pick 2 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
They let Kris Jenkins come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in pick No. 73 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
The board had Denzel Burke higher than the Round 3 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick No. 77 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
