Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says D-.

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 43 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
By-the-book stuff, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick 79 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at the 123rd pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
No drama and no debate, Curtis Jacobs went about where he belonged in No. 199. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in the 208th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Owens. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
