Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: C.

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

Rosemy-Jacksaint has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 3 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 13 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They paid a round early for Graham Barton in the 34th pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in pick No. 44, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 60 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the 75th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matt Goncalves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 122nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at No. 128, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A conviction pick on Braelon Allen at slot 146 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 202, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
