Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.
The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker still on the board.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 27 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 29 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the 34th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick35
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in No. 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in slot 37 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Wright at the 69th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71
Rnd3
Max Melton
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A reach on Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 11; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Linebacker needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
