Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Bears found their guy under center in Maye: B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Isaac. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 4 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 9 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 27th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 75 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Braelon Allen at pick 122. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 138th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at Round 5, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
