Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: B-.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Kamara reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

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 pick 9 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Nothing to complain about; Sedrick Van Pran went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 22 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
