Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. The Bears indulged a want in Williams while a need in interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots stayed open. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cost of the Clark reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They did well to land Brenden Rice in pick 74, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Bullard at No. 75 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent slot 127 on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 146 with a little surplus value in Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A reach on De'Corian Clark in pick 186; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Miyan Williams in the 232nd pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
