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

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Bell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 14th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in No. 45. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
The board had cheaper options than Calen Bullock at the 75th pick, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They took Beaux Limmer at par in pick 122, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaheim Bell a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
No edge and no loss on Tahj Washington in Round 6, Pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
