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

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Landing Dorlus that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick4 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 4 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
They took Brian Thomas Jr. at par in the 67th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus slid further than he should have, and the 68th pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
