Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

Every board in the league had Bortolini lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Coleman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Nothing to complain about; Cooper DeJean went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the 44th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at pick 75 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 101 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in the 122nd overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ainias Smith. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They reached into another round for Tanor Bortolini, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miyan Williams in Round 7, Pick 9, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
