Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Maye is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 12th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 22 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 50 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 53rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A straight-up fair deal on Brandon Dorlus at No. 75, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They jumped the gun on Trey Benson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A reach on Ben Sinnott in pick 122; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
