Dreday45 DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB-
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B- weekend for the Bears. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick5
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 5th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at No. 69, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105
Rnd4
James Williams
A real head-scratcher, James Williams in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to slot 128. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
