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

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. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If Zinter pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 27 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at the 36th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in pick No. 66. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick 67 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at No. 71 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 75th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A tidy little value on Cade Stover in the 78th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on McKinnley Jackson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
A wild overpay on Cornelius Johnson in pick 162, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
