Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureD
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B-, for the Bears.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hart. The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 9 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 20 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 75th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Johnson at pick No. 110 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at the 122nd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cam Hart
The board had Cam Hart higher than No. 146, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
