Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
A passer of the future in Williams, and a D-, for the Bears.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D-.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. James at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A tidy bit of business in the 43rd overall pick, where Chop Robinson graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 51st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A reach for MarShawn Lloyd in Round 4, Pick 22; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop slipping to pick 145 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 DJ James
You do not let a cornerback like DJ James reach pick No. 151 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 254 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
