Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D weekend for the Bears.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Chambers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The cost of the Robinson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rome Odunze. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 72nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 75 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick No. 110 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in No. 111 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 112th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Good price on Malik Washington in pick No. 122, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Fair-plus on Kris Abrams-Draine, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
They paid sticker price for McCallan Castles in Round 5, Pick 10, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in the 164th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
They took Braiden McGregor at par in pick 195, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
They let Jontrey Hunter come to them and pounced at the 225th pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
