The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: A-. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in the 10th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick30
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In No. 30 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than pick No. 34, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in slot 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in Round 3, Pick 8, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in pick 75 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at the 93rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They did well to land Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 122nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick137
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
They read the board right and Johnny Wilson was the payoff at pick 137. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in slot 150. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
