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

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. 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. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Williams.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They jumped the gun on Calen Bullock, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 74th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 75th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They paid sticker price for Jamari Thrash in Round 4, Pick 10, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A quiet steal in pick No. 127: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Layden Robinson at No. 146, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Value with a capital V on Miyan Williams in pick No. 203, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They let Steele Chambers come to them and pounced at slot 232. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
