Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Bears answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: D+.

The Bears torched the value chart for Javon Baker, taking him 63 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 2 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 75th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cole Bishop in the 111th pick, miles early. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at No. 123 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 James Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing James Williams in pick 143. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
