Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C

The Bears found their guy under center in Maye: C.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent No. 51 on Darius Robinson, a name most had 70 spots down the list. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Estime.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 6 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 39 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid a round early for Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 46, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They reached into another round for Darius Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at the 75th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 100th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick111 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime slid further than he should have, and the 111th pick is lovely value for the running back. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at slot 123 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
