Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Carter Bradley, 67 picks early at the 206th overall pick.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Puni value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 11 they get a franchise quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid a round early for Xavier Legette in No. 40, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick54 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at the 54th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Erick All
A wild overpay on Erick All in slot 100, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Steal is underselling it; Dominick Puni at slot 111 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Carter Bradley
Carter Bradley at the 206th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
