Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D-.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. Bullard at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Reaching for Logue left real value on the table behind him.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams in the 1st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick9 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Guyton in No. 43. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
You do not let an edge rusher like Chris Braswell reach pick No. 75 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the 123rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A straight-up fair deal on Javion Cohen at pick 143, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No drama and no debate, Jared Wiley went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 26. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in the 241st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
