Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Good price on Sedrick Van Pran in the 75th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
