FutureA+
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: B+. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
Reaching for Means left real value on the table behind him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In the 4th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in No. 18, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick22
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 22nd pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 27 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick53
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
They went early on Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at pick No. 115 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Fair-plus on Elijah Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick 135 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136
Rnd4
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They jumped the gun on Tyrone Tracy Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick No. 149 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194
Rnd6
Myles Cole
No drama and no debate, Myles Cole went about where he belonged in pick 194. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207
Rnd6
Bub Means
A real head-scratcher, Bub Means in the 207th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256
Rnd7
Frank Crum
This one needs a full-page explanation: Frank Crum in the 256th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
