Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D+.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Mason McCormick, 36 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The Nubin value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
No drama and no debate, Drake Maye went about where he belonged in slot 4. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A tidy bit of business in the 50th overall pick, where Tyler Nubin graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
The board had cheaper options than Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 68th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 4, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 110th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
