Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a B, for the Bears.

Start where it matters. The Bears took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They are betting McCormick proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 9 they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 20th pick they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at No. 35, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick38 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 38 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They liked Xavier Legette enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 2. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in the 75th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in slot 109, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason McCormick this early at pick No. 121. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
