Chicago Bears

The Bears left with their quarterback, and a A to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. On value alone, McCaffrey makes the weekend a net positive.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
R1.16 · Pick 16 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 15
In pick No. 16 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
Amarius Mims at slot 37 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
Keon Coleman in No. 43 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 37
Darius Robinson in the 44th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 65
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 5 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
A quiet steal in pick 75: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 123
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 126
Cedric Gray at No. 142 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
R6.16 · Pick 191 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
You do not let a wide receiver like Luke McCaffrey reach the 191st overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 214
They let Gabe Hall come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
