Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says C.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

They are betting McCormick proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Getting Corley where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 4 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Verse in the 20th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at the 36th pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They paid a round early for Zach Frazier in pick 51, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley is a better player than slot 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 103rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick 111 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 123 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
