Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: D-.

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. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 9 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at slot 34 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They paid sticker price for Malachi Corley in the 75th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They took MarShawn Lloyd at par in the 123rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
