Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: C+.

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 122nd overall pick on Tahj Washington a full 67 spots early. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A tidy bit of business in No. 48, where Tyler Nubin graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Dorlus. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in slot 96; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 104th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tahj Washington
A wild overpay on Tahj Washington in the 122nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
