Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
D
ValueB-

FutureB
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D weekend for the Bears. The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Maason Smith, taking him 44 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
Getting James where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Morgan at pick 36 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 39th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They reached into another round for Maason Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 78 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122
Rnd4
DJ James
They barely believed it either: DJ James still on the board at pick No. 122. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
