Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

However the rest shakes out, Bishop at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Cohen reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
No drama and no debate, Caleb Williams went about where he belonged in the 1st overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick9 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at pick 75, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 115th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javion Cohen in No. 127, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
They went early on Cedric Johnson in slot 146, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at pick No. 186 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
