Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a A to match.

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.

The Smith-Wade pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick7 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 23 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 27th pick they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 35th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in No. 38 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy little value on Adonai Mitchell in pick 39, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Somehow Amarius Mims was still sitting there in pick No. 48, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 68 with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
The board fumbled Kiran Amegadjie all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in No. 107 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Beau Brade in slot 122. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Taking Bucky Irving in the 123rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They read the board right and Tommy Eichenberg was the payoff at the 141st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
They barely believed it either: Kris Abrams-Draine still on the board at Round 5, Pick 7. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They paid a round early for Jaylan Ford in pick No. 174, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson slid further than he should have, and the 184th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
You do not let a safety like Dadrion Taylor-Demerson reach slot 195 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the 211th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Erick All
They paid sticker price for Erick All in pick No. 230, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
