Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
Maye is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The McCaffrey pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Bears indulged a want in Williams while a need in edge rusher, running back and other spots stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They paid up for McKinnley Jackson at slot 111 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick 114 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. James Williams in the 123rd pick leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots for later.
Pick143 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They reached into another round for Luke McCaffrey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
