Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The cost of the Zinter reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That Puni pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
No edge and no loss on Dallas Turner in pick 14; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Value with a capital V on Javon Bullard in the 75th pick, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zak Zinter this early at slot 76. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Nice patience on Dominick Puni, who had no business lasting to pick No. 113. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 115th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
A reach for Javion Cohen in pick No. 136; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 146 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at No. 170 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at slot 173 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
