Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D weekend for the Bears.

Nobody else had Justin Eboigbe anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Bears did, by 43 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Alexander pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick8 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at the 8th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick42 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at slot 42 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in the 69th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zak Zinter at pick 105. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brenden Rice at slot 128 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell slipping to pick 145 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick183 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at No. 183 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Nelson Ceaser
A quiet steal in pick No. 226: Nelson Ceaser for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Eboigbe well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
