Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: 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. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Newton.

The cost of the Worthy reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
They paid sticker price for Caleb Williams in Round 1, Pick 1, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 15 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Worthy a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
No edge and no loss on Marshawn Kneeland in No. 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Nice patience on Josh Newton, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Fair-plus on Tykee Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
