The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B. The Bears went off the board in a big way for Cornelius Johnson, 77 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In the 6th overall pick they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick11
Rnd1
Roman Wilson
In slot 11 they get a home-run threat at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Junior Colson
A conviction pick on Junior Colson at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
They paid sticker price for Mike Sainristil in pick 59, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zak Zinter well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109
Rnd4
Braiden McGregor
They talked themselves into Braiden McGregor at pick 109, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 110th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120
Rnd4
AJ Barner
This one needs a full-page explanation: AJ Barner in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick124
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 124th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126
Rnd4
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at Round 4, Pick 26 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 170 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A wild overpay on Michael Barrett in pick No. 189, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Harrell in slot 203 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238
Rnd7
Josh Wallace
A reach on Josh Wallace in pick 238; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
