Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dallas Turner got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at Round 3, Pick 11. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Everything downstream of J.J. McCarthy depends on J.J. McCarthy, and the building knows it. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt in pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick17 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 17th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, even if it was a touch early.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nate Wiggins at slot 37 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 2, Pick 19 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Circle this one: Graham Barton at pick No. 69 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at the 75th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
They took DeWayne Carter at par in pick 98, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in pick No. 119, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick122 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A top-tier running back at a bargain, MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
They robbed the room for Jarrian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 195th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
