The Bears answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: A-. 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.
The Rice steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Every board in the league had McCarthy lower, and that gap is the story.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a franchise quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at pick No. 36, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ruke Orhorhoro in the 75th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141
Rnd5
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 141 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick 164 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
Somehow Tip Reiman was still sitting there in the 211th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
