Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: D.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

Drake Maye gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Sinnott left real value on the table behind him.

The Elliss value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 4th pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They paid sticker price for Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy little value on Graham Barton in pick No. 35, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kalen King
No edge and no loss on Kalen King in the 36th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 15. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at pick No. 71 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 122 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 5 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Williams at the 185th pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
