Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a C-.

Some picks age like wine; Hunter Nourzad at Round 3, Pick 32 will need to, sitting 93 spots clear of his grade.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Johnson is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 32 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 43rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They paid up for Ricky Pearsall at the 50th pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ja'Lynn Polk. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cole Bishop
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cole Bishop well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 74th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braden Fiske in No. 75. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Hunter Nourzad
They talked themselves into Hunter Nourzad at Round 3, Pick 32, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They went early on Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A curious use of pick No. 111. Cornerback and linebacker needed the pick; a tight end in Theo Johnson did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Laube this early at the 123rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
A wild overpay on Delmar Glaze in slot 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy little value on Kitan Oladapo in pick 160, a step better than break-even. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick170 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the 170th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
