Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Xavier Worthy, the No. 55 name on the board, sitting there at the 122nd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

J.J. McCarthy gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The McCarthy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 9 they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 18 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Xavier Worthy
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 122 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 128 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They barely believed it either: Cole Bishop still on the board at slot 134. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick200 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 200th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They liked Zion Tupuola-Fetui enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
