Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Tanor Bortolini at Round 4, Pick 22, roughly 67 spots before his name belonged.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

However the rest shakes out, Kinchens at that price is a win they earned.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 22 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in pick No. 35, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at Round 2, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
No drama and no debate, Tip Reiman went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
