Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B+, for the Bears.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The McCormick pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 15 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They did well to land Darius Robinson in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 46th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 75th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason McCormick in pick 122, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
