The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Elliss proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They paid sticker price for Rome Odunze in pick No. 9, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
The board had cheaper options than Jonah Elliss at the 75th pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A clean, defensible pick in pick 122 with a little surplus value in Javon Foster. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
