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

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Booker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That Cephus pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Marvin Harrison Jr. at slot 1, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at the 43rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Max Melton
They took Max Melton at par in pick No. 110, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Justin Eboigbe in No. 127. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 186th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Taking Joshua Cephus in pick No. 255 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings in Round 7, Pick 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
