Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B+ weekend for the Bears.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Bullard at that price is a win they earned. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 11 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Somehow Kingsley Suamataia was still sitting there in the 75th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at No. 111 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Good price on Andru Phillips in Round 4, Pick 23, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 143rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
