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

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Melton makes the weekend a net positive. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 9th pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 11 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 23rd overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick No. 108 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Johnny Wilson at pick 138 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
