Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
The Bears bet the future on McCarthy. The board says B.

Start where it matters. The Bears took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If McCarthy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 8 they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A big swing on Xavier Worthy at the 35th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ruke Orhorhoro. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Nice patience on Malachi Corley, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the 75th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 81 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at slot 122 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They paid up for Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid a round early for Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 235, more than the board wanted. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
