Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
C
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureC
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a C for the Bears. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The veteran additions, Marcus Epps chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In slot 6 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick15
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 15th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick25
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In No. 25 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Josh Newton
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Newton at Round 2, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 38th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66
Rnd3
Landon Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Landon Jackson in pick 66. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
They paid sticker price for Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 71, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 74; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 11 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
