Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA
The Bears found their guy under center in Maye: B.

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. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Laube. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
The board had Troy Franklin higher than pick No. 34, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They did well to land Javon Bullard in the 75th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick103 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
The board fumbled Caelen Carson all the way to slot 103, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick 110 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Fair-plus on Ainias Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
No drama and no debate, Javion Cohen went about where he belonged in the 146th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
They barely believed it either: Dylan Laube still on the board at the 186th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
