Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: D.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: J.J. McCarthy, 41 picks early at slot 5.

Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 5 they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Good price on Adonai Mitchell in No. 37, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 2, Pick 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid up for Xavier Legette at the 63rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 78 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in the 100th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 110 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in No. 122 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick140 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at slot 140 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
