Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueC- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: C.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Tanor Bortolini went at pick 122, a good 65 picks before the board was ready. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

Everything downstream of J.J. McCarthy depends on J.J. McCarthy, and the building knows it. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Bishop pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback still on the board.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
A big swing on J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 10, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
They liked Troy Franklin enough to skip the value, taking him in the 20th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in pick 64. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A reach on Calen Bullock in No. 72; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A wild overpay on Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 76 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 84 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 95th pick on Cole Bishop with cornerback unsolved.
Pick111 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick 111 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Javion Cohen. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at pick No. 122. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
By-the-book stuff, Ainias Smith at the 136th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They paid sticker price for Justin Eboigbe in No. 147, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
