BRIAN BASCHNAGEL DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: B+. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
Landing Brownlee Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 14th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 75, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 122nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Circle this one: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at Round 5, Pick 14 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
