Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: D-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Zion Logue at the 189th pick is 53 spots clear of where he belonged. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing McMillan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 110th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 143 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl slid further than he should have, and slot 185 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 186th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Value said wait; Zion Logue in slot 189 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tatum Bethune. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They let Steele Chambers come to them and pounced at pick 232. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
