Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while running back, cornerback and other spots went begging.

However the rest shakes out, Foster at that price is a win they earned.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
A premium they did not need to pay, Javion Cohen a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cade Stover
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 132nd overall pick on Cade Stover with running back, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick142 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They read the board right and Joe Milton III was the payoff at the 142nd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bryce Foster at slot 183 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in No. 226 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
