Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They are betting Eboigbe proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 12 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 75 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 76 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A wild overpay on Justin Eboigbe in Round 4, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
They reached a country mile for Hunter Nourzad at pick 136, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
