Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
McCarthy is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: A-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Wilson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 18th pick they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 12, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in slot 59; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick 69 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They robbed the room for Payton Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
They paid sticker price for Maason Smith in pick No. 108, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Good price on Johnny Wilson in slot 129, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
