Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

The Tyler Owens pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 62 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The McCaffrey steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 5 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 9 they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 69th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A conviction pick on Khyree Jackson at the 75th pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick No. 98 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in Round 4, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 161 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Owens well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
