Draft Grade — Bears

ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Orhorhoro at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 9th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A tidy bit of business in No. 75, where Ruke Orhorhoro graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 122nd pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
