Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
C+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: C+. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
If Drake Maye and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick No. 6 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 9 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They barely believed it either: Khyree Jackson still on the board at the 122nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Nice patience on Hunter Nourzad, who had no business lasting to slot 173. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 236th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
