Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B, for the Bears.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Tanor Bortolini, 67 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Verse at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They did well to land Xavier Legette in the 45th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 3, Pick 23 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 122 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
A wild overpay on Jared Wiley in slot 123, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They paid a round early for Jalen Sundell in pick No. 239, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
