Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
Maye is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B.

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.

The Ulofoshio pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Benson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 3 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 13th pick they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at No. 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They reached a country mile for Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
The board had Patrick Paul higher than the 75th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 84 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice slid further than he should have, and slot 104 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Trey Benson
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 11, where Trey Benson graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They went early on Drake Nugent in pick No. 187, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 210 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
