The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: B+. You build a draft on nights like this. Cooper DeJean had no business being available in slot 88, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Williams at the 1st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick14
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 14th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick No. 27 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
A slide stopped in slot 35, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 46 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A tidy bit of business in the 75th pick, where Kiran Amegadjie graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
You do not let a cornerback like Cooper DeJean reach No. 88 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They robbed the room for Luke McCaffrey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A safety of that caliber at No. 175 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to the 216th pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal slipping to slot 219 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joe Milton III at pick No. 226 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in the 239th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
