Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A passer of the future in Maye, and a B+, for the Bears.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.

However the rest shakes out, Hadden at that price is a win they earned. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 9 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 27th pick they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Jenkins. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 66 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in slot 75, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick No. 109 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A tidy little value on Sataoa Laumea in the 121st pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at pick No. 223 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
