Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B. The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with interior defensive lineman and linebacker open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In No. 4 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Jared Verse
Jared Verse in the 9th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In pick No. 27 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
They went early on Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 7: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while interior defensive lineman and linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dillon Johnson
Value said wait; Dillon Johnson in the 88th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cam Hart
They paid a round early for Cam Hart in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
The board had cheaper options than Drake Nugent at No. 141, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in slot 168 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
