Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB-
A passer of the future in Maye, and a C+, for the Bears. 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. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
They banked enough surplus on Jenkins to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
So much rides on Drake Maye that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 11 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A tidy little value on Emeka Egbuka in No. 33, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
Fair-plus on Taliese Fuaga, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick36
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in slot 36. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in pick No. 38. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at the 54th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
Nothing to complain about; Brandon Dorlus went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Nice patience on Kris Jenkins, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 10. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Rod Moore
Rod Moore in slot 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81
Rnd3
Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in the 87th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Value with a capital V on Brenden Rice in pick No. 89, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in the 91st pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
They jumped the gun on Bucky Irving, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
