The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B-.

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.

Getting Irving where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid a round early for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 22, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Adonai Mitchell in the 53rd overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in No. 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Taking Bucky Irving in slot 122 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
