Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Bears found their guy under center in Maye: 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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Reaching for Taylor left real value on the table behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 4 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick26 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 26th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brian Thomas Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in slot 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
A reach on Dillon Johnson in the 111th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The board had cheaper options than Cam Hart at pick No. 123, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A big swing on Drake Nugent at Round 4, Pick 27, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They reached a country mile for LaDarius Henderson at the 143rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
