Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: B+.

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The cost of the Frazier reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 2 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 9 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zach Frazier. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at No. 67 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They did well to land Cade Stover in the 78th pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
