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 Rogers anywhere near slot 137. The Bears did, by 30 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Put together, it is a D+.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Washington falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In the 28th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in pick 43. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at slot 75 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Value with a capital V on Dominick Puni in the 109th pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in slot 127 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick137 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 137th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at Round 5, Pick 10 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Malik Washington
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at pick 189 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Erick All
A premium they did not need to pay, Erick All a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
