The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: D. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 51 spots for Trajan Jeffcoat, and value like that does not grow back.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.
That Proctor pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
They paid sticker price for Caleb Williams in No. 1, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick30
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In the 30th pick they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick No. 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A tidy little value on Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 30, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 74th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They liked Beaux Limmer enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 115. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick No. 123 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 143rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
They let Josh Proctor come to them and pounced at pick 229. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick234
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
No drama and no debate, Keaton Bills went about where he belonged in No. 234. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trajan Jeffcoat
Trajan Jeffcoat at the 252nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
