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

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If Allen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If Caleb Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They jumped the gun on Kingsley Suamataia, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reach on Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in pick 75; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in slot 110. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Value said wait; Braelon Allen in pick No. 127 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 146th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 11 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick232 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Matthew Jones at slot 232, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
