Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC
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. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They are betting Eboigbe proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
By-the-book stuff, Drake Maye at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 38th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brenden Rice. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 122 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
