Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B-.

When a board-topper like Jer'Zhan Newton slides to pick 75, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 9 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at the 75th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 122 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
