Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at the 1st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in slot 75 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at No. 110 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at the 127th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at pick No. 146, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A clean, defensible pick in the 186th overall pick with a little surplus value in Christian Jones. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 232. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
