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

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Reaching for Zinter left real value on the table behind him.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 13th pick they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in No. 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in pick 44 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 75 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They liked McKinnley Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Cowing this early at No. 123. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick225 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
They jumped the gun on Andrew Raym, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
