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

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The Robinson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 6th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 47th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick No. 66 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Chop Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Chop Robinson at pick 70 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in No. 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Renardo Green
A safety of that caliber at slot 122 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They barely believed it either: Trevor Keegan still on the board at No. 186. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
