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

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. No fireworks, but a solid B.

McMillan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 4th pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They paid sticker price for Rome Odunze in pick No. 10, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick 67 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They liked Marshawn Kneeland enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 8. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at No. 75 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at the 111th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drake Nugent. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
