Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: D+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kiran Amegadjie tumbling to the Bears in the 226th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 1 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
Drake Maye in the 9th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers at the 66th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at slot 75 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ruke Orhorhoro
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 104 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Payton Wilson reach pick 128 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 162nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 226 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
