Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a D+ weekend for the Bears.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The cost of the Robinson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 5 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the 36th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens slipping to No. 37 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They went early on Malachi Corley in slot 75, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick No. 100 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
