Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
McCarthy is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B+.

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. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Eboigbe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 16th pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid up for Xavier Worthy at pick No. 38 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in No. 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 80 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 93rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick 122 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 214 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
