Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureC+
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while edge rusher, running back and other spots went begging.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 25 with a little surplus value in Troy Fautanu. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A slide stopped in the 41st pick, with Adonai Mitchell worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in No. 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at slot 126 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in pick 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
