Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a A- weekend for the Bears.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Every board in the league had Coleman lower, and that gap is the story. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They banked enough surplus on Nubin to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In the end it comes back to Drake Maye, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 7th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
No drama and no debate, Brian Thomas Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 15. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin is a better player than pick 38 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in No. 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 46 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 127th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
