Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a B for the Bears.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Isaac proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 21 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A reach on Adisa Isaac in Round 2, Pick 14; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A slide stopped in slot 75, with Kiran Amegadjie worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in the 158th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in the 241st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
