Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a C- for the Bears. The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
The cost of the Anderson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 15 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick47
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A conviction pick on Adisa Isaac at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 70 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 72 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Blake Corum
They took Blake Corum at par in the 75th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 10, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick No. 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
By-the-book stuff, Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 146 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in the 147th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick181
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
They paid sticker price for Josh Proctor in slot 181, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185
Rnd6
Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Thomas in Round 7, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson in the 235th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
