The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: A-. The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Drake Maye and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Drake Maye
A straight-up fair deal on Drake Maye at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick15
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
They took Bralen Trice at par in slot 37, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 46th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 111; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
By-the-book stuff, Cole Bishop at the 123rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A reach for Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 143; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
