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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.

Every board in the league had Bortolini lower, and that gap is the story. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end it comes back to J.J. McCarthy, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 9th overall pick they get the arm they will build around, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in slot 36 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at pick No. 43 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A wild overpay on Jalen McMillan in No. 75, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They reached a country mile for Johnny Wilson at pick 78, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They took Tyler Owens at par in the 255th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
