Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a 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+.

That Polk pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Every board in the league had Rice lower, and that gap is the story.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 3 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 19 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 34th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They paid up for Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 20 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They reached a country mile for Brenden Rice at pick 68, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Somehow Braden Fiske was still sitting there in the 78th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
Taking Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
