Draft Grade — Bears

The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Bishop pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 9 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Fair-plus on Sedrick Van Pran, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Circle this one: Cole Bishop at pick 122 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
