Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: A-.

The war room fell hard for Tanor Bortolini, and it showed at slot 122: 65 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The whole projection now runs through Drake Maye; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 5 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 16 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 2, Pick 20 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in the 99th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They reached a country mile for Johnny Wilson at the 102nd pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 118th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in Round 4, Pick 22, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
