Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A passer of the future in Williams, and a D+, for the Bears.

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 53 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the 75th overall pick with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 110 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in the 121st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dillon Johnson at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden is a better player than Round 5, Pick 10 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 210 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
The board had Zakhari Franklin higher than the Round 7 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
