Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Bears let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Antonio Williams slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 89th overall pick. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker slipping to pick 60 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Good price on Eli Stowers in Round 2, Pick 31, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Somehow Antonio Williams was still sitting there in slot 89, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald in the 129th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick239 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in No. 239 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in the 241st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
