Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
D-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a D-, for the Bears. Nobody had Isaac Rex this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 65 spots to get him at pick No. 240. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Wilson makes the weekend a net positive.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick10
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 44th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in slot 72. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at pick No. 75, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Somehow Roman Wilson was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A reach on Cole Bishop in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick No. 143 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 18 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160
Rnd5
Isaiah Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Williams in No. 160, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Isaac Rex
They reached into another round for Isaac Rex, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
