Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D- weekend for the Bears.

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They are betting Oladapo proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at Round 1, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A clean, defensible pick in slot 52 with a little surplus value in Kris Jenkins. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at pick 75, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 84 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 127th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reach on Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They took Nathaniel Watson at par in the 232nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
