Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B-, for the Bears.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Rice pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Gray steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Nice patience on Cedric Gray, who had no business lasting to pick No. 122. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
