Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a A- for the Bears.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.

The Smith pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will need Eboigbe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 16 they get a long-term answer under center, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at No. 26 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in the 55th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Value with a capital V on Zach Frazier in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in Round 3, Pick 29 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
They will replay Ainias Smith at slot 192 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
