Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says C+.

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.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They banked enough surplus on Holker to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Frazier reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

If Caleb Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 5 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
They liked Jonah Elliss enough to skip the value, taking him in the 41st overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick 66 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in slot 69 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A conviction pick on Beau Brade at the 105th pick that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 128 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 5, Pick 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 183 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dallin Holker
They will replay Dallin Holker at the 224th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
