Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Irving to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
No edge and no loss on Rome Odunze in slot 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Good price on Kingsley Suamataia in Round 3, Pick 11, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
A reach for Bucky Irving in pick 122; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
