Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: D-.

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

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Every board in the league had Baker lower, and that gap is the story. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bell.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 27th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chop Robinson at the 35th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A conviction pick on Javon Baker at No. 75 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at Round 3, Pick 27 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
