Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: A-.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Audric Estime, the No. 103 name on the board, in the 217th overall pick. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

J.J. McCarthy gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The McCarthy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 7 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection.
Pick19 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 19th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick38 Rnd2 Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers in No. 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A reach on Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 52; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
You do not let an offensive lineman like Cooper Beebe reach slot 78 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in pick 106. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 22 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They did well to land Beau Brade in the 139th pick, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick217 Rnd6 Audric Estime
Steal is underselling it; Audric Estime at the 217th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Christian Jones
The board fumbled Christian Jones all the way to pick 222, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
