Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a 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. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 9 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at No. 53 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They let Caelen Carson come to them and pounced at the 75th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at Round 4, Pick 10 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
