Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
The Bears answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: C+.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Hit on J.J. McCarthy and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jared Verse
They paid sticker price for Jared Verse in the 9th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 11 they get the face of the franchise, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 23 they get a building block for the line, reach and all.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 57 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick 167 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
