Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Anthony Gould, 62 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. Suamataia falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 3 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 19 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 40 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They will replay Calen Bullock at Round 3, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at No. 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kingsley Suamataia
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 103rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reach on Darius Robinson in the 104th overall pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in pick No. 111 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They talked themselves into Jaheim Bell at pick 123, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in Round 5, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick183 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Taking Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 183 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Gould this early at the 220th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
