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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Darius Robinson at the 104th pick, roughly 94 spots before his name belonged.

The Alexander steal is the beam this whole class leans on. So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 4 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 5th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick37 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in the 37th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Seth McLaughlin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McLaughlin well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in slot 113 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
They jumped the gun on McCallan Castles, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Briningstool this early at pick 160. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick183 Rnd6 Mike Sainristil
Somehow Mike Sainristil was still sitting there in the 183rd pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick No. 226 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ali Jennings
Steal is underselling it; Ali Jennings at Round 7, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
