Ryan Polez DRAFTING FOR THEBears

FutureB
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B. Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They are betting Washington proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Rice pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick13
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick 13 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marshawn Kneeland. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at slot 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
