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.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Van Pran lower, and that gap is the story.

Hart falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 9 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in slot 75 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 110th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick 146 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They took AJ Barner at par in Round 6, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They liked Donovan Jennings enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 232. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
