Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA+
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B, for the Bears.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Maurice Smith, 71 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fautanu. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 2nd pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No drama and no debate, Keon Coleman went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 66th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at pick No. 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A wild overpay on Mohamed Kamara in No. 108, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in Round 4, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick183 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in slot 183 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maurice Smith in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
