Draft 35
Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a B- for the Bears. The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Rice to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A straight-up fair deal on Dallas Turner at pick 9, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A big swing on Brenden Rice at slot 75, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They liked Christian Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
