Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: B.

The Bears bet big and early on Tanor Bortolini, 65 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The Jenkins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 10th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in pick 72 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Value with a capital V on Christian Haynes in slot 75, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at the 122nd pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
