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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Roger Rosengarten at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 53 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Zach Frazier at the 52nd overall pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 84, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 110th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 10 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
