Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a B- weekend for the Bears.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The McCarthy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Franklin steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 9 they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caelen Carson at pick 75 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and pick No. 110 is lovely value for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in the 146th overall pick: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner in No. 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at the 232nd pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
