Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
A passer of the future in Maye, and a D+, for the Bears. The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.
So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Powers-Johnson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
No drama and no debate, Drake Maye went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick6
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A straight-up fair deal on Olumuyiwa Fashanu at No. 6, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35
Rnd2
Dallas Turner
They read the board right and Dallas Turner was the payoff at slot 35. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 38th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They talked themselves into Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 68th pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell is a better player than pick 104 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in Round 4, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They paid a round early for Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 5, more than the board wanted. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick182
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 182 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jalen Catalon
Nothing to complain about; Jalen Catalon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
