The Bears found their guy under center in McCarthy: C. There is reaching, and then there is Jared Wiley at No. 125. The Bears jumped the board by 74 and dared it to prove them wrong. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.
Everything downstream of J.J. McCarthy depends on J.J. McCarthy, and the building knows it. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
The Wiley pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback and linebacker. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get their guy under center for the next decade, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In pick 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Nice patience on Graham Barton, who had no business lasting to the 37th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 63rd pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in slot 69. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
A wild overpay on Johnny Wilson in the 94th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
A big swing on Dillon Johnson at No. 115, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mohamed Kamara in slot 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jared Wiley
A want over a need in the 125th pick: Jared Wiley adds a tight end while cornerback and linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick143
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
They reached a country mile for Hunter Nourzad at pick No. 143, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
