Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: A-.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fuaga. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The DeVonta Smith deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 9th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in No. 50 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Braswell at slot 53. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A tidy little value on Devontez Walker in the 75th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 22. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
