Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They are betting Wiley proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 20th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at slot 44, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A reach on Ricky Pearsall in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the 63rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 75 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at No. 133 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
They paid up for Isaiah Williams at the 171st overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wiley this early at Round 5, Pick 36. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick223 Rnd7 KT Leveston
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for KT Leveston. A need, and now a little less of one.
