Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

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. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 9th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at pick 36. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 21: Tyler Guyton for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They paid sticker price for Zach Frazier in the 67th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at slot 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at pick No. 85 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in No. 110 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Donovan Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A clean, defensible pick in the 146th pick with a little surplus value in Kamal Hadden. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Fair-plus on Roger Rosengarten, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
They robbed the room for Fentrell Cypress II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
