Draft Grade — Bears
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureC
The Bears answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: F.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent No. 20 on Jackson Powers-Johnson, a name most had 31 spots down the list.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. J.J. McCarthy is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Irving at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with cornerback still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 2 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 14 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
The board had Tyler Nubin higher than the 40th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They read the board right and Chop Robinson was the payoff at pick No. 45. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders slipping to the 67th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Somehow Graham Barton was still sitting there in pick No. 75, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 3: Zak Zinter for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in slot 111 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 123rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
No edge and no loss on Dallin Holker in the 143rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick174 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They paid up for Javon Baker at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
