Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a D weekend for the Bears.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They are betting Henderson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The Bears indulged a want in Stover while a need in interior defensive lineman and linebacker stayed open. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 3 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 11 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 2 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in the 68th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker sat open.
Pick104 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the 104th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
They liked Dillon Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 111. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker to take Jalyx Hunt, a S-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick143 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A big swing on LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 143, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
