Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears bet the future on McCarthy. The board says B+.

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Every board in the league had Limmer lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 14 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bralen Trice. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick45 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in slot 45, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 67th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They reached a country mile for Maason Smith at No. 68, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Beaux Limmer
A wild overpay on Beaux Limmer in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid a round early for Jarrian Jones in pick No. 122, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
