Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a D- for the Bears.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent pick 160 on Tanor Bortolini, a name most had 56 spots down the list.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Getting Powers-Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They barely believed it either: Troy Franklin still on the board at slot 50. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 53rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Good price on Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 74, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They took Austin Booker at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 15: Jaden Hicks for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at the 97th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter slipping to slot 111 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
No drama and no debate, Dylan Laube went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 7. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 160 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A big swing on Jalen Sundell at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
