Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a A- for the Bears.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They banked enough surplus on Hart to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Zinter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In the end it comes back to Drake Maye, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 4 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They paid sticker price for Rome Odunze in Round 1, Pick 10, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick35 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dallas Turner in the 35th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga is a better player than pick No. 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Nice patience on Cooper DeJean, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zak Zinter. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Good price on Devontez Walker in the 110th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice slipping to pick 126 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick 133 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
