Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

The Cohen reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the 51st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in slot 84 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 111 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Value said wait; Javion Cohen in the 123rd overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A reach on Braelon Allen in No. 143; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
