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.
Every board in the league had Eboigbe lower, and that gap is the story. The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and cornerback.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Worthy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 11th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 17th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all.
Pick23
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In pick 23 they get a go-to option on the outside, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Circle this one: Xavier Worthy at Round 3, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at slot 76, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 78 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A want over a need in No. 108: Cole Bishop adds a safety while interior defensive lineman and cornerback keeps waiting.
Pick121
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A real head-scratcher, Justin Eboigbe in slot 122 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Nothing to complain about; Christian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Tommy Eichenberg. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 222 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 253rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
