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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tanor Bortolini, 96 picks early at Round 3, Pick 27.

J.J. McCarthy is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Newton.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick7 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 7 they get the face of the franchise, though they paid up to get him.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 27 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jer'Zhan Newton
Taking Jer'Zhan Newton in No. 35 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Value said wait; Jalen McMillan in Round 3, Pick 2 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at Round 3, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
