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

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
No drama and no debate, Calen Bullock went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 11. A minor itch, scratched.
