Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Washington. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Barner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 32 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that.
Pick37 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 5 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 51 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick64 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A conviction pick on Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 64 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at slot 69 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They read the board right and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was the payoff at the 75th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at the 84th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid a round early for Mohamed Kamara in the 122nd pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Malik Washington
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Malik Washington in pick 140, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at No. 152 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They let Kamal Hadden come to them and pounced at slot 178. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
