Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureA
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B.

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.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. If McCaffrey pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Bullard falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 19 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick No. 75 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 111th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in the 123rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in slot 143 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tanor Bortolini. A need, and now a little less of one.
