FutureA+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Put together, it is a D.
The whole projection now runs through Drake Maye; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
If Powers-Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Landing James that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick 4 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 43rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 67th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in pick No. 74; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
D.J. James
D.J. James is a better player than No. 75 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Nothing to complain about; Dominick Puni went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Tyrice Knight
They let Tyrice Knight come to them and pounced at No. 126. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 10 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jalen Berger
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Berger at pick No. 204, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
