Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a B weekend for the Bears.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The Trotter Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 9 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
The board fumbled Dallas Turner all the way to slot 35, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 3, Pick 11, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 122 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
