DeBouillon DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Maye is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a A. The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tory Horton fell into slot 182.
So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Derwin James Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
In the end it comes back to Drake Maye, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 4 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick12
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In No. 12 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 21st pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the 44th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Legette in No. 68, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Emeka Egbuka
They robbed the room for Emeka Egbuka here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 22 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Amarius Mims
The board fumbled Amarius Mims all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at pick 182 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at pick No. 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at No. 232 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
