Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Maye is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: A-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

If Rice pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, with Drake Maye leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
A straight-up fair deal on Drake Maye at Round 1, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in slot 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 34th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They reached into another round for Brenden Rice, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They liked Calen Bullock enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 75. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in pick No. 103, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Erick All
No edge and no loss on Erick All in the 122nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
