FutureB
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: D+. The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. The cost of the Evans reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In slot 2 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 9th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the 36th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A premium they did not need to pay, Kris Jenkins a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in pick No. 67, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
They paid up for Marist Liufau at pick 74 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 109 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cam Hart
They jumped the gun on Cam Hart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in No. 128 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 146th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick186
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
They paid sticker price for Gabe Hall in slot 186, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick No. 189 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205
Rnd6
Roger Rosengarten
A clean, defensible pick in pick 205 with a little surplus value in Roger Rosengarten. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232
Rnd7
Blake Watson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Watson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248
Rnd7
Desmond Evans
Desmond Evans at the 248th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
