Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureB
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
Spending an early pick on safety with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
So much rides on Caleb Williams that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 9 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick13
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 13 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
JC Latham
JC Latham at pick 43 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick52
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
The board fumbled Keon Coleman all the way to pick No. 52, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 74th pick, where Jeremiah Trotter Jr. graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice slipping to Round 3, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 98 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Jaden Hicks, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick120
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime in the 120th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Adams. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 123 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
A conviction pick on Theo Johnson at pick No. 143 that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick221
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jordan Magee in the 231st pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 21 is lovely value for the running back. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
