Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Maye is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: A-.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Every board in the league had McCormick lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 3 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick16 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They went early on Patrick Paul in pick No. 52, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A big swing on Jalen McMillan at the 75th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They talked themselves into Johnny Wilson at No. 82, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A wild overpay on Tanor Bortolini in the 149th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
