Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
McCarthy is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B+.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The cost of the Pratt reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On value alone, Newton makes the weekend a net positive. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 2nd overall pick they get a franchise quarterback, a steep price for the projection.
Pick32 Rnd1 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at Round 1, Pick 32 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at pick 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick64 Rnd2 Austin Booker
They paid a round early for Austin Booker in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They talked themselves into Zak Zinter at pick No. 75, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Pratt. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 122nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
The board fumbled Brenden Rice all the way to slot 126, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Somehow Josh Newton was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
